Still recovering

I feel a little stronger each day.... and then have a bad day thrown in here and there for good measure!  However, it has only been a little over 3 weeks since my c-section - but I am wanting to feel whole and healthy again NOW!  I am not very patient with it....   probably because I have 2 little girls that need their mommy to feel good again!

So PLEASE keep praying for us!  Don't stop now!

This entire experience has been a wild ride and quite the cross-cultural experience....
having an emergency c-section in another country when you don't speak the language...
having to talk with the nurses and doctors daily using what I call my "cave-man" spanish or pantomiming....
being totally unprepared for an unexpected crisis....
having 2 little girls to also take care of...


However, God is so faithful.  Our baby's life was spared because our doctor took measures to do fetal monitoring...and that is where he discovered Micah's fetal distress....

Brad's parents arrived just in time to work like dogs and help us through this!  They leave tomorrow - and all they have done since they have been here is work!  Cleaning, laundry, cooking, working on our house that we still have not completely unpacked since we moved in 2 months ago....

They need to go home from Spain and have a vacation!!!  :)

Bringing Micah home!

We were able to bring Micah home last night! We are so thankful to God for His work through this crisis!

Macy and Mia were super excited to meet their little brother for the first time!

We are thanking God that Brad's parents had planned to come "early"! They were able to entertain the girls with lots of fun and shower them with love while Brad and I spent every day at the hospital this week.

No tubes!

Micah officially has NO tubes or wires now! We were able to put clothes on him for the first time too! Dr says he MIGHT be able to come home tonight!!! ....but they are monitoring something with how his heartrate drops after he eats...
Thank you everyone for praying!
Please continue!
1. Please pray God will keep him safe, healthy, and happy when we bring him home. I don't want to live in fear about his breathing.
2. Please pray for me. I have experienced a lot of excruciating pain the last couple of days.

Love to everyone! And much gratitude for praying for us!
