Believe

This afternoon we did get the results of the cranial ultrasound and it was as expected. Mason's EVD is only draining on the right side of the brain. There is either some infection or protein (probably due to the brain bleed) that is blocking the fluid from floating across the brain and draining out the EVD. Mason's dr. said that if it isn't better by tomorrow morning that she will contact neurosurgery to come and see what the next step is. Of course, this is not what we were hoping to hear. But to everything there is a purpose and a plan. So we will continue on this path to intervention and recovery and pray for the best outcome. God is the great healer and I am calling on him to heal Mason.

Mason continues to grow...he finally hit the 4 lb. mark and is weighing in at 4 lbs. 1 oz. He continues to do well with his feeds and with his breathing. We love our little boy so much and it is great to see him look like a "big boy" all dressed up in his clothes. We continue to look to God for healing and pray for His will in this situation. We were chosen to be Mason's parents and to advocate for him and we will be there for him. I still have faith that God is going to restore him no matter what the odds are or what is told to us. I will tell you that they say the outcome won't be good statistically speaking. But I don't like to dwell on that on here or be negative. And as I have said before our God is not bound by statistics.  Because God has proven to be faithful and we have continued to feel his presence so strongly through all of this. And He will continue to be.


Matthew 21: 21-22 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, " Go throw yourself into the sea," and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

  5. Statistics are made by man. We serve a God of greater probabilities. Thanking God this morning for every day you have had and will get to have with Mason. No babies come with a warranty, but each day he is loved and cared for by you is important, worthwhile, a gift to you all and a testament to God's goodness.
