Julie and I slept alot today. Alyssa wasn’t the only one napping at the house. I guess the hardships of this week had finally caught up with us. It makes me think of something else that needs prayers. Julie and I are still the parents to a wonderful two year old girl. Pray that Julie and I continue to be good parents to her and that we remember how much she needs her normal routine. I understand that the definition of normal has changed dramtically for many of us, but for her I want the changes to be slower in coming. During many of the last few dark days she has been a light for Julie and me.<\/p>\n

Alyssa went to see her little brother today. She excitedly sat in the recliner and held him. She kissed and patted his little head. She actually was interested for alot longer than I expected. It made me feel good to see them both together.<\/p>\n

I didn’t see any improvements in Noah’s physical abilities today. There is some good news to report though. He has moved from a warming bed to a crib. This means he is able to maintain his own temperature and it also means I don’t have to sweat when I stand over his bed. He is taking food through his feeding tube and is able to digest it without problems. He is gaining weight and now weighs 7.025 pounds. For you scoring at home he is over his birth weight.<\/p>\n

I would guess that some of you are wondering why Julie and I have decided to write these kind of updates on the blog. I know for me this is one place where I can capture the many, many thoughts that go through my head everyday. It also gives me the visible love and affirmation from the body of Christ that lifts my spirits. So I promise to keep sharing if you do.<\/p>\n

Read the story of the Shunammite’s Son from 2 Kings 4 starting in verse 8<\/a>. I like how it ends, but I must admit that I echo her fear and I pray for her faith. – Ethan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
