Athan had a smooth night. His sugars dropped a little, but they never left the "normal" range and seem to be on the way back up a little now. My emotions seem very tied to the number on the OneTouch machine (that tests his sugar), so I ride a bit of a roller-coaster when he does. Sugars are up, mom is "up." Sugars go down, mom gets down.
Today, we had more labs, which means more blood drawn. Yuk. Also, the new medicine will be here this afternoon, and we'll see if our boy can keep his sugar steady with that added. Endocrinology wants him to start growth hormone, which unfortunately means we will have to learn to give him a shot every day. He is just going to be one tough kiddo!
The plan now is to spend the next 24 hours doing all of his feeding/care/meds just like we will be at home, and watch him. If doctors and parents are comfortable with his condition and our readiness, we may go home then. Maybe the next day.

I'm just reminded as I follow up on what is going in with Athan and you guys of the perseverance of Job. Know matter what keeps coming your way (especially when it would be easy to get mad), you guys keep giving God the glory. My continued prayers for you all will be rest and perseverance.

This week is VBS at FUMC-Borger. We teach the kids a Bible point everyday. As I was going over them in my head, I thought I should share them with y'all.
God is real.
God is with us.
God is strong.
God is awesome.
I know you know all this, but sometimes it helds me to be reminded. I'll share Friday's Bible point with you tommorrow.
Love,
Amy (& J and Cap, too)
Hi! All,
Love from Texas. Athan is so precious. Uncle Ed and I have been on vacation, so have not had computer access recently. I have kept informed through Christi. We are all sending our love and prayers your direction.
I was disappointed to hear Athan had to return to the hospital, however it sounds like he is continuing to make progress. Hope you are both staying strong in spirit and body. Please give my love to Grammy and Morgan.
Love,
The Corn Crew
What a precious baby boy! I know you both are so strong and you have the strength of so many prayers! Your family will be stronger because of your perseverance.

Hi sweet friends,
You are constantly in our conversations. The most recent--the cafe at Quitaque where Sissy and Didder asked about you.
You are in our heavenward conversations as well.
Love you all,
Cindy
"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of JOY." Psalm 107:19-22
We are keeping you in our prayers.

Ryan and Amberly,
Your strength and trust in the Lord is inspiring. We have lifted you and your family in prayer each day as we have worked on the mission house with Sid. We have faith that God's grace will be sufficient and all will be well. We will continue to pray for your strength and your rest. We will also continue to pray for your beautiful baby Morgan as she tries so hard to understand. Praise God for you and your amazing extended family. You have all blessed us.
