Quiet Day . . .

Matthew is doing well. He cries a lot due to being hungry but that's expected. His nurse tried to talk the doctors into letting him eat today but they said No without hesitation. They called in an extra nursing tech last night just to rock Matthew. Apparently, his surgeon didn't like how much Matthew was crying so they had to get back up support to rock him. They can thank me for spoiling him with the rocking. It was the only way I was able to get some sleep for many nights. Oh well, that's what mothers do!!

I've come down with a sinus infection again for the 3rd time. I know that I'm not getting the rest I need so I can't seem to fight it off. I stayed home all morning but couldn't take it anymore and had to go see him. Please pray that Matthew doesn't catch any of our colds. The plan is to slowly start feeding on Monday morning and see how he does.

The little girl (Laynie) that we spoke of earlier this week is still in critical condition. I spoke with her Mom and Dad this afternoon (a very sweet couple) and found out she is fighting a bad infection which is causing problems with her heart healing from surgery. This was her second stage surgery and it looks like she may be in the hospital for another 4-6 weeks. This scares us as Matthew's heart condition is almost identical to hers. Her Mom and Dad were upbeat for everything they are going through. They said they are leaning on God right now. Please keep them in your prayers as well.

We will update on Monday and let you know how the feedings are going. Our prayer is that he remembers how to suck as this was an issue on our last visit.

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Love, Amy
