Wendy got out of the Hospital today...one day ahead of schedule. Wendy is doing great. It's really great to have her home feeling good after two weeks in the big house (more on that later). She's really had a crappy past few months so it's good to see her normal again...except that she's slow and has to roll into and out of bed due to the C-section. She'll be fine in 6-8 weeks.
Nothing too exciting happened with Luke today. He's been under the Bellirubin (sp?)lights pretty much all of the time. These lights help keep the jaundice at bay. His "levels" are improving daily so hopefully he doesn't need the lights much longer. Basically the lights consist of several hundred blue & purple LED's that look like a Light Brite toy (but this one probably costs $10,000).
Every visit is a little frightening..his chest heaves in and out so deep, it just breaks my heart. It's tough to look at him sometimes...I don't know why, it just is. Do I feel like a bad dad because I feel that way? Yes but I try not to let it bug me. I'm just glad I get to be in his presence, I hope that he knows who I am, that I'm there, and that I'm in love with him.
I pray constantly that Jesus will keep him safe, help him grow, and guide his care team.
