Settling In

Just wanted to do a quick update. Anderson is doing great. He seems to be getting adjusted to being home. The girls are so excited and very helpful (kind of). I'm wondering when the new will wear off because right now they can't get enough of him. They are in his face, trying to shove his passy in his mouth everytime he makes a little noise. Whew. He does seem to be taking it well so far and not getting bothered too badly. We'll see how long that lasts!

He went for his first visit with his Pediatrician today. Everything looks good right now. He hasn't gained weight yet, but they feel that the loss of fluid and the surgery are probably contributing to that. We will go back at the beginning of next week to see if he gains weight. He is eating really good, so hopefully when we go back his weight will be higher.

We are getting adjusted to having a new baby. So far it has gone well, but Jamie has to go back to work on Monday so we'll see how well I do next week...Wish me luck!

Andrea & Jamie:
I am so thankful that Andrea posted a comment on our blog a while back so that I could look your blog up and see what was going on with you guys! Lyndi told me a couple of days ago that y'all had been in the NICU and we must have just missed you! Sophie and Mattie are both home finally but we hate we missed you guys. I hope someday that our girls can meet Anderson (love the name!:) God is amazing and we praise Him for your faith and encouragement to all of us! S&M are asleep on Josh now and I count it a blessing that we are all home, glad you and your family are together too!!
Love,
Amber (Bowman) Schwartz:)

I've been sharing your story with anyone who will listen lately! You may not know it right now, but God has worked through you to show His power and His strength. Sharing your story has shared more than details of a diagnosis..... you have shared the gospel. I love you all dearly. I've been praying for your continued recovery!
