Catheter out tomorrow

The Doctors have decided to remove the catheter tomorrow and put him back on hemodialysis. Scott thinks he may have to be on it for quite a while. Once the infection is gone and they think he is ready, they will put another catheter in for the peritoneal dialysis again. This could be quite a while, but we are taking it one day at a time as always. It has been 4 1/2 months since Jonah was born and gave a cry when he entered this world. This was not expected and we all were so gratefully surprised that he was alive. He was taken by helicopter to the UCLA NICU where he has been improving steadily.

At this moment I am reminded of the storm at sea that Peter and the disciples were in. Jesus was asleep on the boat and they were so afraid that they would all die. They woke him up and "he rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm." He then asked his disciples, "Where is your faith?" Luke 8:24-25 We are in a storm again with Jonah, but our hope is in God and his faithfulness. We will continue in hope, knowing that Jonah is loved by our Lord more than all the love we all have for him put together. That is HUGE! Please continue in prayer and support for Scott, Amy and little Jonah. Thank you.
