I got him some great truck books at the COS childrens' sale last night, as well as a little push- mower, a digger, dumptruck and his very own kids' acoustic guitar (minus a couple of strings-- daddy fix!). So now we have a few new fun distractions around the house for those "I want Mommy and can't understand why she's unavailable" moments.
As far as our other little guy, we went to visit him last evening, and it was a little more difficult than usual to see him. They switched him to an Oscillator instead of a Ventilator, and his little chest was shaking/vibrating, and the rest of him was agitated as a result. He didn't look comfortable at all. I had to keep telling myself every time he flailed his little arms, that he was just doing a little dance... nothin' like a little denial to keep you goin'. I spoke with the nurse this morning and she said he was doing pretty well. He's gained another ounce, so he's officially over his birthweight. A tiny little milestone. The murmur is still present, and surgery is still scheduled for Monday.
Please continue to pray for his heart, as well as his lungs, which are daily effected by the duct not being closed. It's hard to believe that tomorrow he will be 2 weeks old. It seems like so long ago that he made his debut.

It's good that you got some rest.
Just imagine how our babies look on an ultrasound - or how your stomach felt a few weeks before you delivered. Crazy, spastic movements that lurched from here to there. It's got to be like getting to see that on the outside. I'm sure that he is just flexing and using his muscles as they grow and his nerves develop. But I can imagine why that was hard to watch as his mommy.
Hang in there! You are, and Kyren is, just where God wants you to be for whatever reason He has, and He is good!
((hugs)) to you, Melissa.
Hooray for another ounce! Hopefully that's helping his little body to get stronger which in turn will help his heart and the potential surgery he might be facing. Let's hope not tho!
Thanks for taking the time to update your blog even tho I'm sure you don't always have the energy for it. It really helps to know how to pray for him and you guys. ((hugs))
I'm praying not only for a miracle before tomorrow morning... that Kyren's heart heals on it's own, but that God gives you the ability to sustain in this very difficult time. I'm praying for REST for your body and your emotions. I wish I was near so I could just give you a hug.

I'll be praying for Kyren and you guys on Monday specifically for the surgery. You are so strong, and its so easy to see how this part of your life could overwhelm, but God is definitely right there, watching you, holding you and loving all of you! Love you!
