Update...

As one can only imagine, these last couple of weeks have been anything but mundane! Through it all, we have continuously been witness to the faithfulness of our Lord, Jesus Christ. By His Grace alone, we have seen miracles happen!

Carrie is doing extremely well! After not being on her feet more than a few minutes a day for the last 3.5 months, she sprained her ankle shortly after being released from the hospital. That is healing and she is feeling really good about being a Mom again with Josiah. They have had some really good bonding time these last two weeks as I have been back to work.

Josiah is full of life! We are so enjoying seeing his personality really take shape! He is such a happy little man who loves to investigate everything! We are convinced that Josiah thinks Reagan is a furry brother who walks funny and Reagan thinks Josiah is his personal playmate! They are so funny together! Josiah has the most contagious laugh and finds the most ordinary things (dogs playing keep away, Daddy blowing on his belly, etc) to be gut splitting hilarious!

Caleb is progressing amazingly well! He is now almost 3.5 weeks old. This last week, we have seen some pretty amazing changes!

First of all, Caleb was moved from the Intensive side of NICU to the step down Intermediate side of NICU. One more step closer to coming home! :)

Secondly, Caleb took a bottle for the first time last Sunday and has steadily increased to 2 bottles a day and today....drum roll please....nursed from Carrie! She is terribly excited as you can imagine!

Thirdly, Caleb was taken off ALL breathing stimulants! Yeah! He is breathing completely on his own!

Lastly, he hasn't had any bradycardia episodes in over 2 days!

Please continue to pray for our little warrior that he grows into a godly man serving the Lord as his namesake of old did!

Without the peace of a personal walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, this entire life event would have been overwhelming to say the least. Our prayer is that everyone would come to know the peace that passes ALL understanding! We rejoice with those who already walk steadfastly with the Lord, for only then does one know and experience the true JOY that Caleb's life journey thus far brings!

Trusting and resting on the promises of our Lord,

Love,

Joshua, Carrie, Josiah and Caleb
