I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a rambling post. Lucas decided that 4am was a good time to wake up this morning so I have already had a few cups of joe. My brain is on fast forward right now. Lucas however has hit the snooze button already....

nice huh? I wanted to update, since there has been so much up and down these past few days. Thanks to so many prayers and God's grace and mercy, our little Marcus is making progress. Sunday and Monday were sort of touch and go with him, and Steven and I had to make the hardest decision we have ever faced. I am so thankful that God has given me Steven to go through life with, he is truly my other half, and to see his faith is inspiring to me. He never wavers, simply keeps repeating " All I need is a mustard seed." I thank God, for my wonderful husband. Back to Marcus, he received a blood transfusion on Monday, and although they won't confirm until 72 hours after, I believe it has done a good job. He is looking much better, and they are hoping to try him off the CPAP today. He is also scheduled for his eye surgery today, so please say a little prayer for that to go well. Our little super hero is a fighter, and even through his struggles he is fighting to stay here with us. The breathing machine talk has subsided, and we are now watching him slowly progress. Apparently his little body doesn't do a very good job of releasing the carbon dioxide and so with that building up over time, he started compensating in other areas, and it just got to be too much for him. The good Lord was with him, and us, through it all, and he is getting better.

My sweet boy on Monday.
We were also informed yesterday that Myles with be coming home on Friday! This Friday. As in two-days-away-and-nothing-is-ready Friday. Yikes. Ok well, really, I just need to wheel the bassinet into our room, and set up the changing table for in there, oh and get down all the little bottles and sterilize them. So that is the plan today, get ready to have a newborn back in the house. It's almost surreal, he is actually coming home. One down, one to go. Let's have a little looksie at Mr. Myles shall we....

Take a good look and notice that he is 100% tube free. That's right folks, the youngest Costner male has officially joined ranks with the oldest two, and is eating like a champ on his own. Making Daddy proud :)
I thank you in advance for all the prayers I know are going up for my boys, and our family in general. God is great, and we see His greatness and glory everyday.
