Grammy's Update Day 7

Happy One Week Birthday Ayden!!!!  It's amazing 1 small life could go thru so much in just a week.....it seems so much longer. 

 I am so glad you are my family, friends, brothers & sisters in Christ!  Because of this I know you are forgiving of my mistakes and are now aware that I misspell things just like I mis-pronounce them :)  It is good to know the heart of the person writing or talking!!!!!!  I can't help but think how often though we might not extend this favor to others.  To date I'm aware of this horrendous 'blooper' from last update: our God is omniscient NOT ominous.  This ranks as the greatest error of my life!  I trust each of you knew what I meant & thank you to the one who alerted me.  Please forgive me.  The Lord has assured me He not only knows my name but also my heart....nothing is hidden from Him & He was not offended!  What comfort in my discovery for I am mortified.

I had the opportunity to talk with the dr. who is not the optimistic sort yesterday.  After inquiring about each other I asked him what he thought of Ayden; his response was 'he seems to be improving everyday'.  This is HUGE given our communication with him thus far :)  His concern is his lungs.  They must improve for the original surgery to happen and they are going in today and look around.  This will be done thru the tube that is already there so that is good.  Ayden's output yesterday was good & they have decided it to be premature to put him on any dialysis yet.  The swelling is reduced!!  His arms can be bent, his body is not so barrel like, his ears were more recognizable!!!!  What a welcomed difference for us!  He still is puffy but this is so much better.  There still is a good amount of swelling in his head (making a fluid pillow for him) but his pupils still respond to light when they check.  

Chris is feeling much better & he stayed the night with Ayden.  Aubrie & Elijah are missing their mommy terribly and are in need of some normal time....as if any of us know what that is now:)  Deidre met their teachers yesterday & took them to their practices.  Chris' mom & sister have returned home.  While this is different we all are adjusting.  Another baby was admitted last night with the same syndrome-her name is Makayla.  Pray we are an encouragement for them.

More soon.  Thank you for praying.....it is such an encouragement & we feel the effects!  Thank You Lord for another day with Ayden!!

Love,
Gay & family
