Picture Update

Josiah is doing well. His name means "the Lord Supports" and that as been so true (you can read the rest of his story in 2 Kings 22 or following this link: http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults2.php?passage1=2%20Kings22&book_id=12&version1=31&tp=25&c=22). He has been progressing very well and is digesting all of his food. He moved off of oxygen so quickly, now he is eating strongly, he is having digestive activity all of this after only two days. Short of naming him little miracle, we think the name has been indicative of his life and hopefully will continue to be. Thanks again for all the prayers and support it does make a difference. Danita is still doing well and is approved to be discharged today. We will be staying in the hospital until Josiah is released but it is nice to know that Danita can step out if she would like. Of course with all the ice and cold, she probably won't be.

I have to say that the NICU here as been wonderful, everything has been good but these NICU nurses are special people. Candy has been our primary day nurse and all we can say is wow! She has been amazing, she is so knowledgeable and encouraging and dedicated to her job, I do not know enough good adjective to represent how awesome she is. I have to tell this story because it is so representative of her. We are having some bad weather, snow, ice, freezing rain, just a normal KC winter storm. So that she could be here and not miss work due to roads and to help cover shifts if needed she has stayed in the hospital the last two nights and might do it again tonight. She has been sacrificing for her job and is taking great care of Josiah. Please say a prayer for her and her family and ask many blessings for them.

Here are the promised pics mostly from today:
