If you are on Facebook, then you have already read these... but I want to record them on our blog. :-)
God definitely grew us individually and as a family when we found out Ben was moved to the NICU. It is amazing because during this most difficult time, I have never felt closer to God or James. So very thankful they walked by my side during all of this. We know God has BIG plans for Ben. We pray he will have an obedient heart.

Our sweet Ben had to be moved to the NICU late last night. They suspect he has an infection (neonatal sepsis of unknown source). He is on antibiotics, fluids, and oxygen and we are waiting for test results and a spinal tap to determine more.
We will never forget walking down into the NICU. You scrub your hands like a surgeon. Tears could not be held back as you walk into the room and see your helpless baby lying in the warming bed, fighting for his life. There is nothing that you as a parent can do but pray. Ben felt so bad. He could not be consoled like a healthy baby. Whenever we walked into the room, he felt had to "tell" us in his "kitty" voice everything that had been done.
So sad that y'all had to go through that and so excited that he is now home! He is complete preciousness and I so wish I could be there to hold that sweet little guy and give his handsome big brother a big hug!!! Miss you terribly!
