Thankfulness

Today has been good, so far. Yesterday, however, was a rough day as he cried and cried. Overnight he had two big dirty diapers and is much calmer now. The oxygen is off and if he can maintain his oxygen levels on his own all day, they can come home tomorrow! His feeding tube came out this morning, so now he is just on the monitor.

... pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

So glad to hear he might be able to come home soon! He has been through so much in this past week.

Hugo & I just read the weblog today. We've had no internet, and although you've been in my thoughts all week I wasn't sure how you were doing and how gerad had made it through his operation. I'm glad to see everything is going well and that he may be able to come home tomorrow.
Babies are so strong, but when I see the pictures of him and his poor little chest opened up again I just want to cry.
Hannie and Marvin, I wish you so much strength standing beside Gerad's bed, and the scary time ahead when he comes home. Our cardiologist said that after this second operation he will be much much better than before. I certainly hope this for Gerad and of course for us eventually too.
We're praying for you.
Andrea and Hugo

als je eerst maar weet waarom ze huilen....k'ben blij dat het de goede kant op gaat met Gerad. iedere keer als ik de blog open dan kijkt hij me zo lief aan met die mooie grote blauwe ogen. geef hem maar een lekkere knuffel.
