Since he's doing so well, I'm trying to adjust to a not so normal schedule: seeing him at the hospital, getting things done around the house, taking care of paperwork for school, and ending the semester with packing up my classroom etc. Ah summer, could you hurry please!?!
It's been interesting trying to be normal when you're baby is still at the hospital. Really he should still be in my tummy, and I should still be working. Last night was my first night back at our house.

No other way to describe it. I know God has a purpose for this journey we're on. I believe that 100%. Even though I would rather have Boone home sleeping in his crib as I rock in the glider and type this blog post, I can lean on these two things and find comfort:
1. He is safe, loved from a distance, and under the best care as possible right now. I certainly can't monitor his heart rate, lung functionality, or body temperature.
2. God is already using him in a mighty way to touch lives in the NICU (nurses, docs, and parents of other NICU babies) and the lives of our friends and family across at least three states (TX, AL, and LA).
HIS plans often throw us for a loop when we least expect it, but Casey and I are thankful that Boone is growing stronger each day. We are also seeing our friends, family, and faith family grow closer through this journey as they love us and our Lil B in a number of different ways. We are humbled, grateful, and giving glory to our Lord as we continue this journey.
One day closer to home,
Melbel

Fisher had a monkey wubanub & we never left home without it. It's great, especially for the car, cause it has enough weight on it to keep from falling out of his mouth. Also, when it's dirty, you can throw it in the washing machine! :)
Thanks for that post Mel...been praying for yall. We know all about things not going as planned but trying to stay positive be open and willing to learn what the Lord is trying to teach us during this time and being open and willing to be used for His glory...so much easier said than done. Yall have been troopers and we will continue to pray for your little one to get stronger and come home soon. Love yall!
