Jonah ate!

I just talked with Scott and he said that Jonah had about 3 cc's of pedialite through his tube...a first for the 4 week old Jonah (tomorrow). He also had a good dialysis today and his stats are normal. Amy was going to hold him today, but the NICU is very busy with a baby that just had surgery, so they will do it tomorrow. We are so happy about how well he is doing. Thanks be to God for His healing touch and to all of you who are faithfully praying for baby Jonah. Your words of encouragement and stories of how the Lord has helped you continue to be such an inspiration for all of us. Scott sent a text picture message of Jonah today which I wish I could put on the website for you. He was without his tape for the ventilator for a few minutes and we were able to see his whole face. He is a very beautiful boy and I'm not saying that just because I'm his gramma. :) Oh Happy Day!

I was tempted to be sad that Jonah's mommy and daddy haven't been able to hold him, and then I remembered! His Heavenly Father is holding him as he continues to knit him together. No wonder he smiles so much! The pictures are such a blessing! Sheila

Yesterday was our 63rd wedding anniversary. What a great gift to see Jonah's face without the tape.Wont be around to help coach him when he starts playing baseball,but in my book, with the help of Jesus, he has hit a homerun each day of his first four weeks. Pop
