Update Sunday 1:00 pm

We just got back from the hospital. It has been a very encouraging day for us.
  • First, Adam's parents were able to attend our church and the support for us there is overwhelming. People were so kind and loving, we were able to feel their hugs even at home.
  • Second, at the NICU, we were told that Eleanor's umbilical IV will be removed today. The nurse asked us to return to help bathe Ellie! We of course are super excited to be involved in this way, but also apprehensive because she seems so fragile.
  • Third, while we were there, DeVos Children's called, and they said they are aiming for her transfer on Monday or Tuesday! Praise God!

    We will definitely have more to say after we are there this evening, and we see Ellie again and bathe her.

    Thanks for your prayers. They are being answered in God's time.
