1st DOWNS!!!!

We have been comparing Porter Mac's progress to a football game (and as you can imagine Don, Jennifer's precious dad, talking to us like a coach) so we can definitely say he is MAKING FIRST DOWNS! We are moving the chains!! :)

Thomas and Jennifer called this morning more excited than we could have ever imagined. Porter Mac finally started passing his meconium.....His blood levels are now normalizing.....His EEG was confirmed normal and that what he we thought were seizures actually aren't.....and he is trying to suck! I just want to scream, "are you kidding me?!?!?!" We have been filled with laughter all morning! All of these things weren't even close to what we were expecting in these first days.

We can't even being to Praise God for the miracles we are witnessing each day. I only wish you could have seen him Saturday, because to see him now, you would jump and shout.

Thomas and Jennifer even said they were ok and and trusting God, because they know the purpose is greater than they can see right now. They are just precious and amazing and strong and determined.

Thank you for continuing to pray and now join with us and continually Praise the Living God for all He has done and will continue to do! He inhabits the praises of His people!!!

  5. Jennifer, Thomas and Porter-you have continuously been in my thoughts and prayers. God is watching over little Porter and I know he will pull through just fine. He seems like a strong little man. Sending prayers up for the whole family. Psalm 105:4 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
