Mother's Day -- 2:30PM

At 5am, one of Hill's nurses tried unsuccessfully to get an IV into her arm, which was rough, but the doctor on call finally just said she could try going without it. So far so good.

While this was not the Mother's Day that Hillary imagined, the kids came in the late morning and gave her a good lift. Danny insisted on wearing his "fancy clothes" and showed up in khakis, dress shirt and tie. According to Hill's parents, Danny now knows how to get to her room and leads the way the moment they step off the elevator, which includes punching the buttons that open the double doors leading to Labor & Delivery.

We've continued to talk to people both in the medical field and out who keep reminding us that anything is possible here and not to discount the possibility that Luke could be born with absolutely nothing wrong with him. Absolutely.

And as hard as it to believe, we've been here one week. That's 7 extra days Luke has had to grow strong, definitely worth an Amen or two!

  1. We will continue to pray. I was on semi-bedrest (at home) for about 6 weeks in the first trimester of my current pregnancy, and it was awful! Just keep focusing on prayer for your baby and reminding yourself that what you are doing is really worth it for baby Luke.

    We will keep praying for the health of baby Luke and your sanity!

    As for hobbies, do you like to write? You could also make photo albums of your children if you had a laptop. These can be ordered online and all done on the computer. Just a thought.
