The Power of Prayer

What a miracle! Brody had another ultrasound and the doctor said that he is looking good and he shouldn't have to have the shunt put in. It truly shows how powerful God is, and all the prayers that everyone one has made is what gave us this miracle.

Brody, you have reached the 5 lbs mark today. You are 5 lbs 2 oz which is almost a pound bigger than Savannah. The last few weeks you have gained so much weight. This morning you ate the entire feeding from a bottle; 45 cc. You are coming down very slowly on your oxygen setting; so if you start eating from the bottle all the time and you are not on any oxygen we can start thinking about bringing you home.

Savannah, you may not weigh as much as your baby brother, but you are still doing so great on everything. You are now feeding twice a day from a bottle, you are at 4 lbs 3 oz, and you are holding your temperature in open bassinet. You are also going up on your feedings; you are now at 38 cc per feeding. The doctors did an eye exam again today and they said there was no change so that is good news.

Cheyenne, you are 3 lbs 13 oz today. You are almost to that 4 lbs mark. You are also in an open bassinet, and holding your temp very well. You are starting to feed from a bottle, but you haven't decided that its your cup of tea yet. The doctors are starting to lower your oxygen too, and you also had an eye exam and the doctor said that it has gotten better since last time. You maybe the smallest, but you are still doing great.

All the great things that have been happening lately have shown how powerful prayer really is, and we want to thank everyone who has kept us and our little babies in theirs'. Hopefully we will be able to bring them home soon.

God is truly great, of that there is no doubt--How absolutely marvelous all the good news you are sharing with us. Thank you for taking the time to give us the updates. I am astonished at how big they are and sleeping in big kid beds. Having them home is right around the corner.
God's Word says that when a child is conceived, God is present, forming the life of that child. He has been involved in your life from its very beginning. Long before you knew your mother's loving touch, God was there in perfect love watching over you.
