another visitor :-)

My Mee-maw arrived today. Yeah! She will stay with Morgan while we take Athan for two more follow-up appointments tomorrow, and then stay here with Athan and me while Ryan and Morgan head to TX/NM for Jordan's wedding and visiting family and friends for a few days.

Tomorrow we will see cardiology first thing in the morning (9:30), then be at the NICU "grad clinic" just after lunch (1:00). Cardio is following a heart murmur, which will probably be another "wait and see" situation. It may correct itself, or it may require surgical repair down the road. Now that the initial trauma is over, "wait and see" is what we will be doing for a long time. So many of the questions that we have cannot be answered by anything but time.

Athan has done really well today. He has been less fussy, and has not thrown up again. He had stayed on schedule really well, and has also taken his meds really well. Right now he is "talking" with Mee-maw...

Morgan has done better going to bed and staying there the past couple of nights. Man, am I going to miss her next week!

We continue to be showered with generosity - calls, comments, cards, e-mails, meals, hugs, visits, and prayers. It is humbling to be on the receiving end of so much. I pray we emerge from this time willing and able to serve others as we have been served.

I had to chuckle when I read of your "hope to be willing and able."
Your life at present and what I have known in the past serves as no greater example of a man and woman willing and able to serve.
Our prayers and best wishes to your family as always.
