I didn't blog about this yesterday because we were really in the thick of it and it was all I could do to get through the day at work.
My beautiful nephew Benjamin is in the NICU in Iowa. He has two serious infections. The good news is that we got some results back today and if he holds steady and doesn't have any setbacks we are only looking at 14 days in the NICU verses the Month they were originally thinking. This is a huge praise!
He is getting his own private room in the NICU today, Kev and Liz are getting cots in his room and being allowed to stay there 24/7 which is wonderful.
Things to pray for right now:
Safety for my Parents as they drive to Iowa this afternoon to be with the threesome.
Rest for Kevin and Liz
Benjamin to get his appetitte back and start eating more- he is so sick and miserable at this point eating is not high on his list of priorities (He's a Hendress though this should change!!)
The meds to build up in his little body and start working and making him feel better- We're hoping in the next 12-24 hours this will happen
We all thank you for your prayers for our precious Benjamin and our family. God is definately at work and we trust in him and rest in his love!
1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo! My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable. My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size! Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!! That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
