today was a good day for emory. her oxygen levels remained steady and breathing was not so much of a struggle. after her surfactant treatments yesterday, she was given oxygen at a 45% level. today that was slowly weaned down to 30% by 6 pm. we breathe room air at a 21% level, so that is the goal in the next days for emory. her bilirubin levels are still high so she continues with light treatments.we are continually thankful for the prayers, emails, and phone calls. in this sometimes surreal experience, we are greatly encouraged by family, friends, and the words of God. his faithfulness and help to us continues to be wider than the sky and deeper than the sea. on this day in 2001, we found out we were pregnant with trinity – after being told we would not be able to have children. many other experiences with God’s goodness towards us cause us to wait patiently, peacefully, and hopefully in these days.
as we were leaving the NICU this afternoon, pj said, “i can’t leave, she won’t let go of my hand.”
"And remember that I am always with you until the end of time." Jesus to his disciples
