I think Asher may have been extubated!!

Asher was supposed to be extubated this afternoon around 1pm. He is supposed to hang out on the CPAP for awhile...he will have been sedated so he can rest and remain calm...and not be wild like the little "Chunky Monkey" he is! lol!! Asher's mom picked up some neat monkey fabric today...she is planning on doing Asher's room in a jungle theme. I am so happy for this family!! Please pray that Asher can make this jump off the ventilator and that they can start making plans for him to go home soon. It's nice when you get to do your growing at home!!

Prayers for Stephanie

UPDATE:

Stephanie's surgery went very well and she is now recovering at home. She will have her bandages changed every two weeks. Thanks for all the prayers for this sweet little girl and her family!!

Stephanie has a rare condition called Arthrogryposis...it is a condition that affects her joints and muscles. This Friday, September 29th, Stephanie will be having surgery to shorten her left leg and to re-align her leg and foot. The natural growth has caused her leg to turn inward and her foot has rotated to the point that she is unable to place the bottom of her foot on the floor. Right now she has the nifty walker that you see above...and let me tell you this girl can fly! This walker has given her great mobility but hopefully the surgery will bring her much closer to walking without assistance. Please also pray for her family as she undergoes this surgery...anyone who has had a child go through surgery certainly knows how stressful it is...and if you haven't had a child go through surgery then just take my word for it!!

Thanks for your prayers and I'll update after surgery....

Emma's mom and family....

need our prayers right now. It has been 7 weeks since little Emma died and this family is really struggling. Let's all pray that the peace of God will just envelope this whole family as they discover ways to cope with their loss.

Here's an article from the newspaper...

If you feel led to leave a note of encouragement for this family, please do ...I will make sure that they get it. Sometimes it's the little things, like an encouraging word, that make all the difference...

Asher Update

Asher seems to be doing really well right now. He does have a little bit of an infection and his lungs have a bit of secretion so he needs some extra Os (oxygen) off and on. Pray that this infection clears up soon and that he continues to do well with his feeds!!
