Thank you for another good day!!!!

It is so nice to visit Parker on Sundays after church. The NICU is always so quite. Today, Lance and I both were able to hold him. He looked so cute in his little preemie sleeper. You could probably fit two of him in it. Crystal (Parker's #1 Nurse) returned today from her vacation. I am sure he was happy to see her.

Parker had another fantastic day. He is still breathing on his own with no assistance. He only has a feeding tube through his mouth. It is so nice to see his face. He is looking more and more like a baby. The first couple of days he was so red and his skin was transparent. His skin feels "normal" now. I am surprised at how comfortable I feel with him. For not being much of a baby person, I am already in love with him. There is just something about babies of this size that just makes them that much more adorable.

I am so thankful for another good day. Heavenly Father is definitely hearing all of our prayers. The power of prayer is a wonderful thing. I am thankful for Crystal and the work that she does and all of the other angels at Good Sam. Even though I miss him when I am not with him, I know he is in the best place possible at this time. What a blessing it is for him to be born during these times. I know this experience would be a whole lot different without modern medicine and technology.
