First. I got to hold him today! FOR.AN.HOUR. Be still my heart. Guys, he is more handsome than I first suspected. ;)
See? I told you he was handsome. A few notes–there were more remarks about how amazing his turnaround has been today. The doc that rode with him in the ambulance rounded today while Husband was there–and Husband said his countenance totally changed and he was elated to see Asher doing so well. Also, he looks jaundiced in these pictures–and he was, but one day under the bili lights and he’s good–it’s just the crazy lighting in the NICU.
Thank you for your prayers. My sweet boy needed them–and you came through. It has strenghtened and encouraged my faith in a way I had been struggling with for close to a year. I was struggling to see the power and abundance of life that is found in relationship with Jesus. Sure, I believed in Him–and I followed Him. But, my faith waivered in the assurance of how MIGHTY and POWERFUL and GOOD our God is. I have seen every specific prayer that we have taken to the Lord answered in a positive way. I don’t know what that means in my theology for when God doesn’t heal on this earth–but I am thankful that thus far, He has healed my son here and now.
God would have been good even had Asher not made it “out of the woods”…it would have been harder to see, but it would have been no less true. I can say that standing close to the other side of this whole scary time…but I really believe it to be true.
Thank you for caring, thank you for praying…and if you aren’t the praying kind…thank you for thinking of us in such a compassionate way. We are praying prayers of thanks for YOU tonight.
