Ready for the Week

Thankfully we had a busy and fun weekend.  It kept our minds off Matthew’s poor eating and our nervousness about what the underlying issue is and the upcoming appointments this week.

Saturday we hosted a small get together for a friend from high school.  He just returned from service in Iraq and it was great to see him and several of our friends we’ve known for 20+ years now.   It was great to be busy, to celebrate and to think about someone/something else.

It was yummy!

Sunday we had lunch at the Denks (Darren’s folks), where Alyssa and Jackson had a grand time playing dress up and running around.  Sunday afternoon, we went over to friends’ house to watch football.  It was delightful to spend time with friends and distracted from our current concerns. 

Matthew has blessed us this weekend by sleeping through the night both nights.  This is fantastic, given the last few weeks (before this weekend) he’s been waking upwards of 5 times a night.  The sick irony is although I’ve been exhausted, if I’m woken in the middle of the night, I can’t get my brain to turn off.  So with the additional sleep, I’m rested and ready to take on the week and anything that comes our way. 

Right now, we are just nervous.  We don’t know the answers, but know something is going on.  We pray the appointments this week give us those answers, and we hope they are easy answers.  Today is our appointment w/the cardiologist.  We’ll post an update when we know more.  Thank you for the continued prayers and positive thoughts for our sweet baby Matthew!
