Getting Better



Drew had a good day today! He did very well all day and it is apparent that the prayers and medicine are working. One of our nurses explained to us that he had done some tests on Drew that weren't scheduled until six hours later but he felt inspired to do them immediately. It turned out that the prompt treatment Drew received as a result of those tests saved Drew from some serious complications! It was a real testimony of the power of prayer as well as a confirmation that Heavenly Father is in complete control. Drew is starting to feel a lot better, he oxygenated very well today and his sense of humor is back! Drew loves to kick and play, Jenn and I spent 45 minutes tonight playing and talking to him while he was awake. It was so funny to hold our hands up against his little feet while he would push against them like doing leg presses. Each time we would pull our hands out he would start kicking and squirming so we quickly put our hands back in and he would start pushing against them again. He was also sucking pretty hard on his breathing and feeding tubes so we gave him his binky to suck on for a while. It really is the cutest thing to watch his little mouth suck on the binky while he has his hand holding it in place. Time goes by so fast when we are with Drew, we love every second we get to spend with him. We pray that he can have another well deserved good day tomorrow.

It is amazing how different each day can be. We know how much the good days should be cherished. So glad to see him doing well right now. They always told us two steps forward and one step back and it seem to hold true. Hopefully a lot more steps forward.
