Jonathan and I are loving having time with our girls and hate leaving the one to be with the other even though our hearts want to be with the other just as badly. It's a very unnatural thing. We're also each having some physical difficulty to deal with. Jonathan is having some upper digestive issues, probably brought on by stress, but very uncomfortable. I'm still unable to wear any real shoes because I'm becoming an elephant starting with my feet. The swelling was comical to me until today when it really started to become uncomfortable. Apparently the prescription for both of our ailments is rest. So tonight we are back home and our goal for ourselves and for our babies is recuperative rest.
Specific Prayers
- Lydia's PDA to close
- Penny's PDA to begin to close
- Penny's aortic coarctation to be non-existent, or mild enough to not require surgery
- Continued growth and maturity for both girls
- Continued strength and rest for us
I hope all 4 of you get good rest tonight! Like you've said before, this is a marathon...so take care of yourself!

ReplyDeletePraying for renewal of your strength - physically, spiritually, and emotionally - that the swelling in your feet would subside and that Jonathan's tummy would calm down.
In Jesus' name!
We are praying constantly for all 4 of you! I think about you all the time, even in the middle of the night sometimes. I love seeing your joy in the pictures and knowing through your words that God has given you strength and peace that passes all understanding. It is so evident, it is beautiful!
