Dear Friends and Family;
God is truly a God of miracles! Yesterday I asked the nurse if she thought Cleb might get to go home by Saturday and she looked at me and said, “This Saturday?” Today she was filling out discharge papers and moving us to the “step down unit”!
It all started when I asked the head nurse when I could try to nurse him. She told me to go ahead and try last night. He had only been getting 6 ml (about a cap full) every 3 hours. Well I tried to nurse him and he caught right on! He ate 60ml! 4 more than they require for discharge! Then he kept it up every three hours all night. Then this afternoon they did an ultrasound and his leg looks normal. They also unplugged the nasal capula (oxygen tube) to see how he would do and he has kept his oxygen up in the 90-100% range all afternoon! God obviously heard and answered all of our prayers for Caleb beyond what we even imagined! Even the Dr.’s and nurses are surprised by his progress!
So we will begin the LONG trip home tomorrow after he has the standard hearing test they give all newborns. We will just travel the three hours to my aunt and uncle’s house tomorrow, then spend the night there and pick up the kids before going the rest of the way home. We are so excited to see our other kids again and be all together as a family with our new little addition.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers!
One last note: We have seen so many babies here that will not be able to go home for MONTHS. So many of these families don’t even know the Lord and have no Hope or place to get their strength. If you think about it you can pray for all these little babies and their parents. They are going through so much more than we have.
In His Hands;
Greg and Pam Berglund
