Faith and Prayer

(Week 22, day 1)
  From now on we are keeping track on a daily basis. For those of you who do not already know, Tanisha is already dilated. The sack Aiden is living in has crept out of the cervix and is now semi-exposed. It could stay like it is for weeks, even months. It could break. It could creep back into the womb and the cervix could close. There are so many situations and possibilities we are not going to stress over what could happen. We are now praying for what we want to happen. Since Aiden's lungs are probably not developed at this stage, we need a few more weeks. We want him to stay put, and the water to hold fast for as long as possible. The target date for the absolute earliest where we'll start feeling a little more comfortable is June 16. That's 25 weeks. But for now, it's one day at a time. Every day gives my son more of a chance. Every day is important. We are in one of the best hospitals we could ask for with the best staff. They are taking such good care of my wife. If anyone on this earth can bring Tanisha and Aiden through this, it's the staff here. We are praying that God will guide them all to do exactly what is needed to protect our son. We believe he will make it out into this world alive and will grow and become strong and healthy. What we're asking is for prayer. If you pray, and really even if you don't pray, do it now. Pray that whenever our son comes out, he is developed enough that the nurses and doctors can keep him alive and allow him to grow up. Pray that when he comes out he has no brain damage, no eye or ear damage, no organ damage, and that he develops fully. I will hopefully be able to keep up with writing, but if not it's because I'm taking care of my family the best way I know how. Thank you all for your support and prayer and hopefully I will be able to continue to post with good news updates.
