I'm sorry I forgot to update the blog yesterday--the holiday weekend threw me off and I was thinking it was Monday. Oops!
I guess it was just as well, because I had an OB appointment this morning and now I can share the latest news. Liam's heart rate was fine this morning, and his Mama is measuring on target for where we are in the pregnancy (which will be 29 weeks this Thursday). We are looking at a C-section date somewhere around August 9 but the actual date is still up in the air.
Here are the updated prayer requests for the week. If we could ask you to pay special attention to #6, that would be great! Lisa is not sleeping well these days, which tends to mess up Bill's sleep, as well.
1. PRAISE for supportive people who call and e-mail "just to check in," send cards, and post comments to this blog. You make us smile, and we thank you!
2. PRAISE that Lisa's gestational diabetes test results were normal.
3. PRAISE that we have a 2nd opinion doc now!
4. For complete healing for our son during this pregnancy (we will ask for the moon since God made it anyway!).
5. For strength, guidance, and wisdom as we face treatment choices and decisions.
6. For good physical health and restful sleep for Bill and Lisa. This continues to be a big problem, especially for Lisa.
7. For God to show us the way financially so we can provide the best medical care for our son.
8. For the strength to let this child go home to God if it becomes obvious that this is God’s answer to our prayers.
Thanks,
Lisa

Lisa...sorry to hear that you aren't sleeping well. I relate! I don't know if you have one, be we broke down and got me a pregnancy pillow last week, and while it's not a cure-all it's been a big help. We splurged and spent $50 on the Snoogle pregnancy pillow. You can search it on Amazon. It's the best $50 we've spent in quite a while. Hope you get some good sleep soon!!!
We are still praying and we think of you daily!
Faith, Adam and Gavin
We are friends of Kristen and Jeremy Roberson in Jackson and just wanted to let you know you are in our prayers also. We were in a similar situation last year with our son Andrew. The waiting and the unknown can drive you crazy. We felt like if we just knew for sure what was going to happen we could deal with whatever God had in mind but the agony was the actual waiting. We spent lots of time at Vanderbilt before and after he was born. (We actually saw Dr. Liske too at one point.) Vandy was a God send to us even though it was hard to see it at the time. Our son's diagnosis is not the same as your son's but I'm sure we may share some of the same feelings. If you need to vent on someone who has been there, feel free to contact us through the Robersons. In Christian love, James and Jennifer Thomas (and Andrew)
