Arrrggghhh!

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

These verses really speak to me this morning. We've had a few additional issues for which we covet your prayers. Someone broke into our car last night, smashing out a window. They didn't steal anything.....but then again, why were they foolish enough to break into a Hyundai?? Bryant and Jack are sick, and I may have an infection in my incision site. And our kitchen sink hasn't worked for several days. All of these things are small and temporary, but they just add to the stress level.

Now for the good news! Benjamin is doing very well. He has continued to do well without breathing assistance, and they've now changed his feeding tube to a very thin one in his nose. (The thicker feeding tube he had in his mouth was uncomfortable and interfered with sucking his little pacifier, etc.) He now weighs just over 3 pounds (1370 grams), and if he continues on this course, we could move to the Level 2 NICU sometime in the next week! Praise God!
