A Small Ray Of Hope

"The Lord is faithful to all His promises, and loving toward all He has made." Psalm 145: 13b

Tonight we weighed Logan at 9pm and he surprised alot of people when we seen that he had gained 50grams. "How can this be?" we all thought, he's never been able to gain for over a 24 hour period, especially since he had just lost 100grams in a 24hr period the night before. But hey why are we siting here wondering how this can be?? The fact is is went up again, let's be happy!! All the nurses know us well as we have been here for quite sometime - so when they heard/seen this they cheered. "Yay Logan!! I knew you had it in you to fight", proclaimed our night nurse...."you just prove those doctors wrong!". I just smiled with a slight feeling that I was going to get weepy again (with joy of coarse!). I don't dare get too excited yet, but I can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, Dr. Brille will still consider discharging Logan on Thursday or Friday. I know we have had hopes before & then had them taken away so we don't want to jump the gun, but I can hardly sleep waiting for our meeting tomorrow to know the verdict!

As the road we are walking seems to get longer & longer we continue to ask God to give us a peace that surpasses all understanding & a hope in Him that all things happen for a reason, though we may never know what that reason is. There is eventually an end, and we need to wait patiently on te Lord for that. In the meantime we will try to maintain those positive attitudes that we had not so long ago, and remember to just take it one day at a time, to breathe, to pray and to trust in Him. If we do not like the answers we are given in our meeting tomorrow we will obviously be disappointed, but may we still hold tight to Him and not have anger in our hearts for feeling like we are getting no where.

Time to start the midnight feed and try to get some sleep yet tonight. Tomorrow is a new day, and we plan to go into it with a joyful heart as we dwell on these words...

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Phil 4:4-9
