Its amazing to me how the few times I've felt weary physically and emotionally on the way to the hospital to visit Willa that right then several songs in a row come on the radio as if they were just for me! Songs about God being our strength when we are weak, songs about God never leaving etc. Always made me cry just a little as I would begin to feel better about our situation. Through out this ordeal I've just been remembering how so many other people in the NICU are dealing much more sick babies that might not even survive. As I think about those I'm thankful that we at least know that she isn't that sick and will be coming home at some point. It also reminds me to pray for them.
Spending all the time in the NICU just feeding and holding her gave me opportunities to pray for other people. Like the other night a Code Blue was called and I knew that family needed prayers. As did the person coding in case they didn't know Jesus. So I took the time to pray for them all, I've enjoyed my little girl holding her and feeding her when I can.
Yesterday her issues with not being able to be released was that she had lost weight the night before, not eating as well and her bili levels had gone up. Last night she gained weight, she was eating like a champ and this morning her bili went down! Yay!
So all that being said as I'm typing this blog I get a call from the neonatal Dr and he said she can come home today! So we are heading out now shortening this post to go pick her up! Yay thank you Jesus!
