I'm heading to bed soon. Our power never went out last night but it did in 4000 other homes in our area. I am very thankful that our power stayed on.
Josiah was somewhat fussier today. He didn't eat as much at meal times and his sats are lower than usual tonight. Since we moved his chair to the kitchen, he's been eating all his oral feeds there and then we take him back to his crib to lie down for his gravity feeds through his NG tube. Thankfully I just remembered that we used to give him his NG tube feeds while he sat in his chair in the crib. So, we moved the chair back to the crib for his 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM feeds. It's good for him to be sitting up as much as possible. Something that my sister-in-law wrote me in an email made me think of this. Thanks!
After his nap, Isaac thanked God for boats. I usually wake him up after two and a half hours but a friend told me that was a long time so I woke him after only two hours today. Isaac has been a very loud and unhappy camper these last few evenings. We could see the same thing happening tonight. I probably shouldn't admit this but I just happened to let him know that he would not be getting a piece of his Easter chocolate tomorrow if he cried and screamed tonight. There was peace in the house.
The volunteer from the Hospice came today to play with Isaac. He enjoyed playing with play-dough. The volunteer made his ice cream cones exactly how he ordered them. She also made a small cone for Josiah.
Yesterday Isaac managed to turn on the bathroom faucet. Graham was right there with him and he explained to Isaac that the water was hot so he needed an adult to check the temperature. Isaac started singing: "Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, 'No more Isaac turning on the tap.'" (instead of "No more monkeys jumping on the bed.")
Josiah turns one year old next week! To celebrate God's faithfulness we are planning an open house during the afternoon of Sunday, April 14th. More details will follow tomorrow. We would love to see you there!
Thank you for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
