A Beautiful Day
October 28, 2012
Ryan and I have been overwhelmed at the love and concern that has been shown to us, our family, and little Jordan. We have received many emails, texts, notes etc. telling us of how we are in people's prayers. We have had several meals brought into our home, treats dropped off, flowers, gifts, visits, food dropped off at the hospital etc. We cannot thank all of you enough. We are so grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives. We could not ask for better friends. We feel so uplifted in our trial and know we cannot fail with the support group we have. We feel uplifted by all the prayers and know that they are being heard. We have seen many small miracles and blessings.
Jordan the last 2 days has done fairly well. He is not improving, but is also not getting any worse. He continues to struggle clearing his secretions and Desating. Because he is not improving it looks like we are shooting for Friday to have his tracheotomy done. The doctors and nurses all believe this will be helpful to Jordan and will help him move forward.
Today Brooklyn and Tyler came to visit Jordan as well. They both are so cute with him. They both colored him pictures and wrote him notes to hang up by his bed. We had an enjoyable day spending time with Jordan. It is always so hard to leave him there each night. Even though we know he could not survive at home in his current condition, we long to have him come home with us.
The NICU is such a miraculous place. It has such a sweet spirit that resides there. So many little babies that are fighting for life. The little boy next to us was born at 26 weeks and this week he finally made it to 3 pounds. He is so tiny. Jordan looks so huge next to him. It is amazing that technology is so advance that we are able to help these little spirits have a chance at life.
It is challenging to have a baby that struggles to survive. It is hard as a parent when you feel helpless and are not able to make things all better for him. Through these challenges however you feel the Lord's hand. You know that He is the only one who can truly make things all better. I have never felt closer to my Father in Heaven than I do now. He has put our hearts at peace. Each night as I leave my little boy in the hospital, I ask for the Lord to hold my Jordan and comfort him because I can't. There are certainly no better hands to hold Him.
