Luke did pretty good today, except for a few apnea spells. It's pretty scary when your kid stops breathing...but it's pretty cool too when you can see it happen on the monitors, then you look at his chest and see that it's stopped moving...and then you shake him a little and then he starts back up again. Don't worry, it's one of the most common things that can happen to preemies, but it's also easy to correct. The whole event is still pretty scary though. But I saved my son today (Wendy and the nurses have done it too).
The title of this post is about life being so fragile. We know that every day Luke's life hangs in the balance...but there's a little boy that just moved in next to Luke who's in pretty rough shape. He is 24 weeks old, weighs less than 1kg, and is on a very special ventilator. While Wendy was visiting Luke today, the boys parents were there crying by his bedside. Then the Doctors called them away to talk...it doesn't look good for the little guy. Please pray for him...please pray for his parents...please pray for his grandparents, aunts, and uncles...please pray for everyone that loves him.
Thank you for your prayers, but please don't stop...Luke needs them.

It's closing in on 10:00pm and I am catching up on paperwork and watching Guy eat Mexican food on Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives. I just finished reading your latest blog entry - TGFL. As we continue to pray for Luke, we will include the peewee next to him and his parents and greater family. We are blessed that our Lord loves us all, especially the little ones. Rest well. Look forward to seeing you soon.
