Nathan's pediatrician, Dr. Jijón, just came to my room and gave us an update on Nathan, saying that he's doing very well. He seems very pleased with his progress today and is hopeful that tomorrow will bring the same results. He continues to be very optimistic about Nathan's recovery.
We are more than sure that all the positive news is the result of so many prayers going up to our Father in heaven! We can't tell you how blessed we are to receive emails, notes, comments and so on from so many of you who are praying and are so concerned for us. We have mentioned several times that this is a testimony of God's family working together here on earth.
We'd appreciate your continued prayers as even though we are receiving good reports at this time, as the doctor said just now, "we haven't completely won the victory yet!" Nathan still has a ways to go in his recovery.
This afternoon around 6 we went down to see Nathan and were thrilled with the opportunity to touch him - as the lid of his incubator was open. It was fun to see his reaction as we touched his legs. It was exciting to get a little closer to him rather than peering at him through the incubator. The two photos in this post are from this visit. The incision from the surgery on Nathan's belly is about 2 inches long.
Thanks again for your prayers and words of encouragement. We wish you all well as well, especially as we near a new year 2008!
