Today has been pretty good. Josiah is looking great, but we did get some sort of bad news... his left lung partially collapsed overnight at some point. They were hoping that throughout today it would reinflate, but it hasn't. It has gotten marginally better, but if it's not totally better in the morning they are going to have to put a tube in his lung to drain it. The doctors stressed over and over that this is not a huge deal, but it's still sort of a bummer. They are actually very pleased with his progress. We tried to give him a bottle of breastmilk today but he wasn't too interested. They did say I could try to breastfeed in the morning, so I hope that works out.
My sister and her husband came to visit today-- Nia is going home with them in the morning... so I have to go get her packed up. We will post more in the morning.
Until then, we'd love your prayers for:
- Josiah's lung to reinflate
- That feeding would go well in the morning
- That we could have the energy and endurance to keep going -- it's getting pretty tiring.
Thanks again for your visits, your prayers, your cards, the money, the food, the babysitting... the list is truly endless. Nick said to me tonight, "I don't know HOW we could get through this without our friends..."
As usual, a few more pics (and an adorable video!) are posted here:
