Believing for David: big boy

Thursday, May 13, 2010

big boy

David is doing well. He has not had any events in 24 hours! He does drop his oxygen level a tiny bit here and there but nothing major. Slowly but surely the nurses are weaning his oxygen. He drank two bottles, half of the feeding each time.

The big news today is David weighs 7 lbs!!! He has had some major poop-ie diapers as well.

Prayers -
wean off oxygen, lungs to heal
shunt to continue to work effectively
brain heals
eyes heal
learn to drink well from a bottle

Thank you friends and family!

Psalm 46

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³ though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

⁸ Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields ^b]">[b] with fire.

¹⁰ "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
