Blessed Be the Name of the Lord

After rough news to start and a few uncertain days, we have reached a point of cautious optimism and wholehearted praise to God as Boston remains stable. Today his levels were improved to such a point that we have been told we may be able to go home tomorrow!

He is still showing no sign of swelling. His bilirubin was low enough that all phototherapy could be stopped. He is back in his clothes and out of the warmer and in a regular crib. He is still a champion eater and sleeper.

It is still possible that Boston's condition could worsen and so the doctors are developing our follow-up plan that will involve weekly visits to the docs and labwork. We are focusing on the fact that today he is doing great -- and not worrying about what tomorrow holds. Our doctors can't explain our little hero's miraculous recovery -- we give all the credit to God.

During our week in the hospital we have had lots of ups and downs -- we have been in the land of the plentiful and we have walked through the desert place, sometimes in the space of a few hours. Through it all we say "Lord, blessed be Your name."
