Let me begin this blog by starting with our Saturday night visit with Nicholas. While on SIPAP we are able to hold Nicholas as long as he is tolerating us holding him. Meaning, if his stats stay high we can hold him for as long as we want to. Well, on Saturday night Mariah and I held him from about 9pm-12am and I reluctantly put him back in his crib because we had church in the morning.
When I got home I set the alarm for 8am with the intention of going to see Nicholas before church but like usual I didn't get up in time. Then at about 9am I get a call and the caller i.d. said it was from the NICU. Well, naturally I get nervous any time I see that number pop up. I answered the phone and it was Nicholas' nurse on the other line. She said we just put Nicholas on the nasal cannula and he's doing well and we were wanting to know if we can text a picture to you. This is as close as I can get to the joy it brought me to see that picture: it was like being a child and waking up on Christmas morning and seeing everything you asked for. I made the mistake of taking my phone in to church and I could barely pay attention because I kept looking at his picture and showing it to Mariah.
Ask using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. John 16:24
