I know I have delayed in updating you about our son. The situation was slow in changing, and is
still. Today they removed the oxygen hood and are using only a funnel that directs oxygen to
his face and at a lower rate, all in preparing him to be able to breathe room air. He is a little
yellow and so is back under the lights to get more of a tan.... The heartbreaking news we got
today is that we won't be able to take him home this weekend. Maybe next week. This is
difficult for us. We want him to be healthy and be able to take him home and we want to be able
to hold him. I hope that none of you are praying that God gives me patience. (The bible says that
"Tribulation worketh patience" Rom 5.3)
He is moving quite a bit and has a good sucking reflex which he hasn't yet been able to put to use.
They feed him through a tube that places the milk directly into his belly.
The doctor reminded me the other day, that he wasn't even supposed to be born til the 9th
through the 16th of October. Yes that is true, but it still doesn't make it any easier to watch
your boy laying inside an incubator and then to have to drive home without him.
What must it have been like to send your son into the world knowing he would suffer an
awful death and to go to hell to pay for the sins of a guilty world...
Thank you God and Thank you Jesus.

Bro and Sis Devonshire,
We are praying for you both and your son. I can't imagine what it must feel like to leave your son there. Praying for God's healing touch.......God bless you all.
