It has been a comfort to walk down the hall and check our Carepages on the high speed internet access available here at the hospital, and to see that he is being lifted up by so many who already care about him, and us. It is so wonderful to be here at the hospital, and be so near to Drew. Right now the head nurse is again attempting to put in an arterial line, that will enable them to constantly monitor his blood pressure, as well as having easy access to his blood when they need some for tests. They have already tried 3-4 times without much success. His vital signs remain not quite right, but stable. The doctor indicated to us that time is what we need. The longer he can hang on, the more time they will have to get test results back, and to help stabilize his out of control vitals. So pray that his tiny body will have the continued strength to breath, and his heart to beat. In the middle of the helpless dark night of despair that we went through this afternoon, my hearts cry was that God get the glory out of this (my heart would usually add the postscript that I would like God's glory to be manifested by Drew miraculously being suddenly well and stable, of course) and in the middle of all this, that is really what seems to be important. When everything crumbles around me, His love remains strong and steady. It is wonderful.
