Greetings.
We have had quite an eventful and long week at the NICU and ICN. Jonas is recovering from his surgery in his original nook in the intensive care room of the NICU. He is still being heavily sedated and is unable to move. The doctors want to give him a weekend to focus only on healing. It is tough to see him motionless in his crib with several IV's and a PICC line in, but we know that he is doing okay and needs this time to recover. The doctors will start letting him wake up a bit on Monday and begin the gradual ween of the ventilator to get him back on CPAP. I talked with Jonas today and told him to live it up in the NICU spa and get ready for some serious growing. He agreed to that plan.
Elsa continues to deliberate on whether she wants to eat at her feedings or sleep. It is about a 50/50 split currently. It is just a matter of time. Otherwise, she is doing very well and winning the hearts of all the nurses in the ICN.
We received several cards today that really lifted our spirits. It is easy to get frustrated sometimes because of the hiccups we have in the NICU. But it is in these times when we are feeling down that these encouraging cards of hope and prayer bring tears to our eyes and hope to our hearts.
We continue to pray for healing for Jonas and Elsa. (Pictures will resume soon--we forgot our camera)
God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Jonas & Elsa
