11 Days! Can you believe it.

Can you believe Will was born 11 days ago? It really amazes me how fast this has gone. For some reason I was thinking it would be great if he were out within 2 weeks, not realising that was only 3 days away. Anyway, more great news today. They've removed the IV Drip. Partly because his feeding has substantially improved, and partly because they don't like having the IV in for more than 10 days. I cannot wait to see him tomorrow without the drip. They will also apparantly put some clothes on him tomorrow, so the photo's should be specky. We're now genuinely praying for him to be well enough to come home. Perhaps we should organise a coming home party? Perhaps we should organise a big praise session to thank God for his goodness to us? Perhaps we should do both? (as usual getting a tad ahead of myself). We're not sure if they'll let him out before the scan booked for next Thursday, regardless of how well he is (they are quite conservative). Who knows. God knows. I asked Jules the other day what she wanted for her birthday (9th June - please send loads of cards and presents, she particularly likes computer software, xbox, golf supplies, fishing magazines, fishing trips to Mongolia, etc.). In response, Jules suggested that having Will home for her birthday would be the best present she could get. I think I'll have to leave that one in God's hands (can't ask for a better cop-out for present giving than that 'eh).

Praise the Lord that Will is doing better each day. Its great his IV is out. I was on IV for a lot of the time when I was on bedrest and it sucked!

Sorry to borrow your blog to communicate with Evelyn but Evelyn, if you see this, I saw your comment on our blog asking us to post our picture. We are actually a little shy about posting our picture on our blog. However, if you send me an email to rachelandisaac@gmail.com, I will email you a picture!

God bless,

Sonia

That party Harry make it a beauty, a coming home worthy of the best of coming homes. It'll happen but no sooner than it's meant too. Love from both of us to all of you.

Harry,
I am ordering a fishing jacket for Jules for her birthday. What size should I get her? ;)

It's wonderful to pop on here and see good news every day! June 9 seems a bit soon to me, but hey, stranger things have happened... nothing like another little miracle!
And I'll be sure and pop that Xbox in the post ;-)

Sydney Hammonds says... I hope you feel better baby Will, and I love you so much. Dear God, help baby Will get very strong! Sydney asks... Is God happy?...and answers her question... Yes, because we are praying to Him. Amen!

Jen Hammonds (typist)... Sydney is home today and we watched all the video footage together. Sydney has been praying and now understands more fully what she has been praying for. Those are her words above. We praise God for the healing that is happening!

Hi Harry & Jules, one box of clothes ranging in size from 0000 - 0 or 1 is winging it's way to you, and should arrive in the next 5 - 7 days. Sorry I couldn't get it there earlier. There is a knitted bonnet that Renee bought you that doesn't have any ribbon. I took the pink ribbon off and didn't have time to buy any blue to replace it, but I'm sure you will manage.

Great to hear Will is doing so well.

Love to all of you in Hong Kong.

PS I think Jules birthday request if the best of all & if I could afford to I'd fly over and we could have a really big party. Will' home coming, Jules birthday and a very early birthday party for Renee. As it is we will look forward to any photo's and ring Jules for her birthday.

Love Evelyn
