Good News and a Dirty Diaper

I want to start by saying that we have an awesome church body! DFGC, the prayers that went up during service today rocked! This afternoon Peter, my friend Stephanie and I went to see Brinley. She looked so much better! Her heartrate was back to normal. Her coloring was improved. The fever was on it's way down and she didn't have Tylenol in her. She has been tolerating her feeds so well (since my milk finally came in and she was started on the "good stuff") that they doubled them today and she is still doing great with it.

Then this happened:
After having three other children, one of whom is still in diapers, I never thought that I would be so excited to change a diaper! It was wonderful to be able to do something practical to take care of our baby.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers. God is faithful and his grace has been enough each day. Please continue to pray for Cailyn, Raina and Alessa as well. We have a few ideas of ways to help them feel more involved, but it is hard for them not to be able to see their sister and to have mom and dad away more than usual. We just checked in with the night nurse and she confirmed that Brinley is still doing great :)

I will leave you with this:
