A Friend's Dream

This is a dream that a friend of Susan's had before she knew that David had been born prematurely. The thing that really stuck out to Susan is that preemies generally take two years to catch up developmentally and in the dream David was like a two-year-old. She believes this is a sign from the Lord that not only will David make it, but he will also catch up quickly and be a normal, healthy two-year-old all too soon.

Last night I had this dream: I was visiting Susan Kane in the hospital, and she had already had the baby prematurely. But it was so weird because he was like 2 years old. The cutest little blonde hair boy I've ever seen! He smiled all the time and he had a full set of teeth!! He even understood everything we said to him. I was confused because he was just born a couple days earlier, but he was the size and maturity of a 2 year old. Also, Susan said if you even touch his chest in a certain place, it could damage him. John was there too, hanging out with David. It was so precious to see them hanging out and playing together. Susan was in the hospital bed, so at one point, John and David went to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. David took John's hand and walked by himself! They brought Susan back some bacon and eggs. I had brought her some food, but she didn't like it, and I was reminded of what a picky eater she is. :)

BEFORE & AFTER
To encourage you even more, here are before and after pictures of a friend's son who weighed 3 lbs. 9 oz. at birth. He was born at 31 weeks and stayed in the hospital for 5 weeks. The pictures below are from April and November 2007, repectively. She says, "I want her [Susan] to see that her David will be a big, healthy, chunk of a boy before she knows it." Amen!
