I got to see baby David this week!!! He is the tiniest, most precious baby I've ever seen--and he's grown since he was born a month ago. Christmas Eve is the one month anniversary of David's birth.
I had to scrub my hands and arms up to my elbows for two minutes before I could enter the NICU. For a few days afterward, the top of my right hand was red and sore. This is something Susan does (and now John--woo hoo for Christmas break!) multiple times a day just to get to see her son. She showed me the raw spot on one of her hands from all the scrubbing.
On Thursday night (I think), Susan came over to the Todd house to do some work. She pumped, worked, and before we knew it, two hours had passed and it was time to pump again. She said that her milk supply has taken a bit of a dip, but David's feeds are continually increasing (he was up to 21 ml every 3 hours on Friday night), so please pray for a bountiful supply for David.
Please also pray for grace and comfort in the practical, unseen things for the Langager family.
We (the Todd family) were able to have dinner with Susan and John on Friday night. I wish I could remember all that Susan said. I think his oxygen levels are down by 20% since they upgraded his mouthpiece, which is great news. The not so great news is that he was fighting a little fungal diaper rash toward the end of the week. Booty fungus is never fun.
Susan was really hoping to get to hold him again. She hadn't held him since Monday. I don't think it's a coincidence that we asked for a church-wide prayer push at Grace Center over the weekend, and that's the weekend she held him twice, on Friday for the first time since he was born and then again on Monday.
Let's continue to pray for Susan and John and baby David even in the midst of all the business of the holiday season.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
