ABC Nursery

As we were walking out the door to head up here to Albuquerque, I snapped a few photos of Jude's room.  They are blurry from the low morning light and slow shutterspeed, but I thought I would share them anyway.

Please continue to pray him home. 

Pretty much everything in the room was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.  You can see the sites I pinned here.  The alphabet wall isn't done yet, and I still need to put something up above the crib.  My amazing husband built the bookshelves, and I love them.  I studied elementary education in college, and I have loved children's books ever since.  I collect them at garage sales.  I wanted forward facing bookshelves, but the only ones I had ever seen were ridiculously expensive Pottery Barn ones.  Now, I am so looking forward to reading those books to our littlest...and hoping that someday he will even try to climb them.  :-)

Thanks so much for praying.  A few more requests to ask you to lift up tonight:

• He had an MRI today, and we will learn the results tomorrow.  Please pray that we would trust the Lord no matter what the results reveal.  Please pray for healing in his little brain.
• His lung is still filled with secretions and hasn't changed.  It is not uncommon with the ventilator.  Please pray that they can get that junk out of his system.
• His platelet level increased on its own today!  Such an answer to prayer...as we were discussing with the doctor earlier what the low platelet level could mean...and the options weren't good. Please pray that his body would produce the amount of platelets he needs and that his bleeding wouldn't be a problem anymore.
• He is still off the dopamine.  His blood pressure has been good.  Thanks so much for your prayers.  
• My parents left today, and they took our firstborn with them.  He is now safely in Illinois.  Thank you for praying for the transition.  He hasn't missed us at all.  :-)
