Today is World Prematurity Day. Their description on Facebook is this: November 17 is World Prematurity Day when we focus everyone’s attention on the global problem of premature birth. Join us in raising awareness.I would say that most of you are already aware. Hadassah has made me very aware. Every night before we go to bed, we say a specific prayer for several premature babies and families going through what we went through. It seems to me that we are seeing more and more of this in this fallen world. Or maybe I'm just more aware of it now due to our experiences with it. Either way, we serve a God who is bigger than the smallest baby's problems. Say a prayer today for those who are in NICUs all over the world and for those who God took home.
We thank God that we get to spend every day with Haddie. He's a quick update: she is doing well. She recovered very well after her last surgery a few weeks ago. No problems with infections or anything like that. She is teething again now and seems to have a little cold that came with that. Next week we head to Akron on Tuesday for an eye surgery that will strengthen the muscle in her left eye. This is a minor surgery we think and hopefully there won't be any issues there. She continues to maintain her weight at 20lbs. She's gotten longer though. So far no one seems to be concerned that she is not gaining so we are keeping things the same.
And that's about it really. Life is good. Hadassah keeps rolling on and is learning new things. It's a slow process but it's not like we are in a hurry any ways. She has her whole life ahead of her and we will progress and learn at her speed.
Thanks for praying for our preemie. She's a blessing. God is so good.
