A mother's joy

What an exciting morning to come into Reece's area and be asked, "Would you like to hold him?" "Yes! May I?" "Of course you can!" I had the best hour of my life holding my precious baby boy in my arms and cradling him, singing to him, telling him about Ben going on the big boy potty today! Life is so good. He's doing well today. The surgeons came around to see him while BJ was in there and they checked him out. They noticed his belly was softer than before! YEAH! They said he seems to be making progress. Then, Dr. Doctor came around and reassured us that the green gunk still coming out of his stomach was normal. This could still happen for a while. Another doctor came around later and asked if we could set up a consultation to go over things again sometime soon. So, it's been a wonderful day thus far up here. We hope that continues. Thank you Pastor Andy for coming to visit. We appreciate all of the prayers and support from all of our wonderful family and friends.
In His Care,
Sue

  1. We're so happy for you all! Reece must have loved being held as much as you loved holding him. Maybe it's time to review that book "I'll Love You Forever." Love and prayers for you all! The Boschs

    P.S. Did Ben have enough birthday cake?????????

  2. Sue: There is nothing like holding your newborn, and I need to think that it was just as therapuedic for little Reece to feel mom's comfort and love around him too. Keeping you all in our prayers.
