Today was a good day.
I got to see a lot of this little guy:
 |
I was able to hold him for over four hours....most of which was spent sleeping together.
|
We also found out that this is looking better:
 |
| Baby Boy's X-ray: His right lung (our left) is clouded with secretions (mucus). |
And so they are planning on trying to take this out tomorrow:
 |
| Ventilator Tube |
One more monitor will be turned off. :-)

| Ventilator Monitor |
And we'll get to see what's under this tape:
This man was also pretty amazing to me...
 |
| Brandon singing hymns to Jude |
He surprised me with breakfast in bed for my birthday.
It's our family tradition, but we aren't allowed food in our room here.
He worked it all out, and I was very surprised.
He worked it all out, and I was very surprised.
And though we're so glad he is where he is, we missed this guy a lot:
 |
| @ the Explora museum...the day before we said goodbye |
It was a good day.
Please keep praying
for the prayer requests in my earlier posts.
Please pray for the removal of the ventilator tomorrow...
that he would thrive without it and that the process would go smoothly.
Please pray for his kidneys. They aren't working well right now.
Please pray as well for good communication between me and Brandon.
Pray that this time would strengthen our marriage.
Thank you so much
for the prayers,
for the love,
for the gifts,
for the encouragement,
and for the birthday messages and cards.
WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Mandy, the first thing I do each day is look to see what you've posted about Jude so I know how to pray for the little man! I am so blessed to be able to share in this journey with your family in the small way that I can. Thank you for sharing the burden with us so we can hold you all up in prayer. Your whole family is so loved!
Oh, happy late birthday, sweet Mandy! So glad it was a good day for everyone.
Praying for your communication with your sweet husband, and for baby boy today as he gets another tube removed! Yay!
PTL! love you guys, I keep praying :*
Sometimes words cannot express what the heart is trying to say or experiencing...no worries...take a moment every day to give each other a hug...a long hug...you both need it from each other...no words needed. You are all loved and prayed for...our good God knows your hearts...and hears our prayers. Thanks for the pics...Jude is so precious!

Mandy, we've been so blessed by your blog. When you get the chance, would you mind sending me an email at contactfaithblogs@gmail.com. I would love to be in touch with you. I apologize for leaving this in a comment, I didn't find your email address! Love the beautiful photos of your precious family, and your transparent faith. In Him, Katie Troup
Oh Mandy, I can't wait to see under that tape!
Mandy - I happened upon your blog today; a friend of mine had posted it on FB, and I was just drawn here and began to pray for your sweet little man. I live here in Abq, and although I know that you have some family and friends surrounding and supporting you, I just wanted to let you know that if you need ANYTHING - please let me know. I would be so happy to bring anything by, make food if you need it, stop by Walmart if you run out of something - anything. I know you don't know me, but we have the same Heavenly Father, so that makes us family. :) Praying for you.
Sorry, forgot my email - it is designingmemories (AT) gmail.
