Another Update On Andrew...

So tomorrow is the day, the day that was supposed to mark the birth of our first child; But instead it marks 1 day less than 10 weeks since we started this roller coaster ride.
Little did we know that we would have so much to go through, and we thank God that we didnt know, cause then it would have seemed hopeless; But thanks to all your prayers and a God that has everything under control we are still here, and still kicking! :)
These last 3 days have been very busy for our little man, he had an MRI and a kindey exam on the 7th, an altra sound of his intestines and another kindey test on the 8th, and a sleep study yeterday, plus the Ear, Noose and Throat specialist is coming to look at him today. But so far we have had good news for the most part; Andrews kindeys and intestine are all working the way that they should, priase God, but he had some swelling on his neck so that is why the E.N.T. are looking at him today, and also to see if they can find out more about his throwing up.
As most of you know Andrew has been throwing up through his noose for the last while, having this problem is causing him to desat, so the way it looks right now we wont be leaving until he stops spitting up. Now where that starts to be difficult is in the fact that he is once again on caffine, the sleep study yesterday showed that his brain was not sending the propper signals to his lungs and therefor he has alot of dips. So the caffine helps with that, and they told us today that he will probably go home on it; but the caffine also makes him throw up, so we seem to be going in circles.
But we know that God is still in control, and He knows when He wants us to come home, So we once again ask for your prayers, esecially in the way of Andrews throwing up, we need people to go before God interceding on Andrew's behalf, asking that his throwing up might stop. We will be ok with whatever God has in mind for us, but we also know that God does hear the prayers of His people. We want to thank you for standing behind us through all this, each one of you are very special to us!
So there is our latest up date, we still have no answers as to when we might be able to come home, and we are still taking it one day at a time!
Now for all those that have made it through all that, here are some pictures of our little miracle, taken this morning while mommy was having the time of her life holding our little guy, hope you enjoy!
