Timothy James

I was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 8th because my amniotic sac was leaking and I had begun to dilate. I was ordered to lie flat on my back until the baby came ( I was due April 2nd!). Well, on Dec. 17th my water broke at 7:15pm and Timothy James decided to come early. He was breech and already on his way out, so the doctor did an emergency C-section and at 10:20 pm he was delivered. He went straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and has been there ever since. Timothy was only 25 weeks along in his development (a "normal" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks) so he still has a lot of growing to do.

Psalm 94:19, 22 "When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. . . the Lord has been my stronghold and my God, the Rock of my refuge."

Timothy has been doing very well for the last 2 months. He has been very healthy and has been busy growing and developing every day. We had an appointment with the neurologist today, and she is very encouraged by his progress. We won't need to see her for another 6 months!

Please pray! Timothy has not been feeling well for the last 2 days - he has a fever and is working harder to breathe. Last week the pulmonologist (lung doctor) saw some haziness in his lungs (via x-ray) that was not there before. Please pray that whatever is causing him to feel sick would be healed with treatment at home and that his lungs would clear up soon! Thank you for your prayers!
