Feeling Better

We're finally out of the hospital, not making daily doctor visits, and feeling MUCH better! Thank you, everyone, for all of the prayers! We went to the doctor today for a follow-up and Noah is finally gaining weight (10 lbs., 5ozs.). The one remaining concern of the doctors is the enlarged liver. Dr. Stewart, our INCREDIBLE pediatrician in Tifton, wants an ultra-sound done as soon as possible. While the liver function tests came back normal, she wants reassurance that the liver is nothing to be concerned about.

I'm posting this at 1:00 in the morning because we are letting Noah sleep in his crib for the first time tonight. I'm afraid I won't hear him if he wakes up (despite super-sensitive baby monitors). We also had our house "bombed" for bugs today. Even though Jacob and my dad told me the fumes shouldn't be of concern, I'm worried that Noah will react to the chemicals. Next time, we'll plan on spending the night elsewhere...

Not much has happened this week. We are recovering from Noah's being ill and trying to get him back in a routine. Jacob started work at Valdosta State Prison on Monday. This has cut his commute almost in half. Uncle Clint's wedding is this weekend, and we are excited about that.

I'm going to try and get some sleep. Once again, thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement and support.
