Jonah is still doing well!

A quick note to let you all know that Jonah is getting use to the new dialysis. He still has the hemodialysis every other day or so and is on the new one 24 hrs a day. They are lowering the amount of pain meds he gets, but must give him a bit more of anti-anxiety meds. His tiny little body has seen so much in just 5 short weeks but we are continually praising and thanking the Lord for how very far he has come. Tomorrow is Jonah's "due date" and the first day of summer. We are looking ahead to what great plans God has in store for Jonah and family. Amy said that he was able to get a bit of mommy's milk through his feeding tube today. If he handles that well, there will be more to come. Amy has been daily pumping her milk since he was born and they will be giving it to him regularly when he is ready. His lungs continue to improve and there is talk that he may get off the ventilator in a week or so. Please keep praying for this because it will be much easier for Scott and Amy to hold him when this takes place. Again we have to say THANK YOU all so much for your prayers and Thank you Jesus for your sustaining and healing power. Please remember Robynn in your prayers as she continues to get chemo and fight her battle with cancer. Go to http://Robynnsbattle.blogspot.com for updates on her progress. God Bless you all! Nancy

Goodman Family, We just heard about baby Jonah and want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am forwarding the blog link to Nathan and Kate and know they will include him in their prayers, too. Sounds like Jonah is a courageous little guy, full of Goodman spunk!
Love, Janis and Mick Aldworth
