Matthew is home!

We brought Matthew home last night and he seems to be adjusting well. I must say, two is a lot different than one-and I can't imagine what three will be like!

It was hard going to the hospital today. Andrew's incision has opened up because he is so bloated and he is very restless and appears to be in pain. He has come down some more on the vent settings and is breathing some on his own. The surgeon said we should know in a few days if the reattachment went well or if they will have to come up with plan B. He said we are doing better, but there are still many hurdles to jump and things that could go wrong. My heart goes out to him and I want to help him. It is a very helpless feeling to watch him suffer. Please continue to pray for his recovery and that we will be able to lean on God for strength.

We felt the same way when Katelyn was in the NICU and Kaleigh was at home. With one at home and one at the hospital it was hard to know what to do. . .but your touch and your prayers over Andrew is the best medicine you can give to him. Little ones need you so much and your love is more powerful than you will ever know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

It was nice to meet you this evening. I've enjoyed reading portions of your blog. We'll be praying for you all and especially for Andrew.
