So we have this one last day to just be with Landon. Sometimes it feels like time isn't moving in the NICU. The quiet of the room, the humming of the machines, the reassuring presence of the nurses. Everyday we hope for some progress but it seems he is neither getting better nor getting worse. The nurses remind us it just takes time so we wait on time and God's healing hand.
But time can be my enemy, it is during those endless stretches that doubt and fear creep into my mind. And my biggest enemy, fear, which can make you think irrational thoughts, allowing a tiny drop to turn into a raging river.
"The One who died for us, who was raised to life for us! Is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us." Romans 8
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10
God is with you,Josh and Landon. His little lungs need to catch up to the rest of his growth.
ReplyDeleteNurses in NICU are the best that my profession has to offer. God knew little babies needed loving, feeding and nurturing, so He made Moms. God also knew that sick or fragile newborns needed special gentle care, so He made NICU Nurses.
I hope you feel encouraged.
Your words have helped me in the past. I know you believe that God has Landon's little back. Prayers for you to feel strength, courage and patience. Blessings, Donna Schonlaw
