Room with a VIEW



As quickly as we moved into the NICU step down unit we were moved again to a private room here at Childrens. We are typing this from our new address which is where we will be till we go home with our new baby. They have not indicated how long we will be here and we are hoping it will be a short stay. This is a new day for us as we are now considered the primary care givers (we are here 24/7) and the hospital is just our backup. We are definitely making up for lost time by holding our baby as much as we want and enjoying every minute of it.


Today we had a quick visit from a neuro surgeon who Dr. Barnhart asked to look at Benjamin. He said because of the small cyst that showed up on the Spinal ultrasound last week they are going to do a MRI to rule out any issues. Please pray that it will be clean and there will not be any further issues that would require surgery.


We also pray for energy as Jerry goes back to work and I'll be up a the hospital a lot. Luckily we have family staying with us for the week which will definitely help us balance taking shifts at the hospital.

Jerry, Melanie, and Barrett -

Thanks be to God for answered prayers!!! Our family has been praying for you ever since we learned of his birth and subsequent problems. Know that you've got some serious prayer warriors in Zoe, Megan, and Clay.
Our continued best to Benjamin and we will continue to lift you all up from our little "Corner" of the world!

Love Ben, Kim, and the kids
