Prayer for Kari and Casher

Sorry no cute video or pics til tomorrow. Its late Wednesday night, we just went and visited Casher, and he truly gets more adorable every time i see him. He is still doing well, he got an IV taken out and no longer requires any oxygen at all! They are now starting to slowly reduce the temperature of his bed, as he will have to maintain his own temp before he can leave.

We're having a tough time right now only because Casher seems to be getting ahead of his own healing. He is strong, resilient and ready to eat!!!!-unfortunately his body isn't ready yet. He gets fussy and is calmed down by his passy which is nice but thinking about our little baby boy being hungry and not being able to feed him is the hardest thing we've had to deal with yet, it's particularly hard for Kari.

As I sat looking at him tonight I remembered what a blessed thing it is to be in this tough spot. I think about my friends and family who desperately want to have a baby and can't; and I imagine how unbelievably hard it must be for parents who can't afford to feed their kids. We are so blessed by God-the technology, money, care takers and faithful friends and family needed to get Casher through this are all in place and working in harmony.

So please continue to pray for humility and patience for Kari and I and for Casher's health, we need his digestive system to get up and running properly so he can eat all the milk Kari has been so diligently providing and the nurses have been saving.

Thank you all for your prayers, love, and positive energy-it really encourages us when ya'all post comments.
I will edit and post some cutsie tootsie video tomorrow.

  1. Thanks for the update. I can't imagine what you
    two are going through. Makes me so thankful for the "routine" time both my girls were and how I took it for granted that they would be. We pray for all of you constantly, and know God will get the glory each step of the way. Love you all, Horns

  3. I don't know what to say except I'm praying. We will all get through this hard time but I know that doesn't make it any easier. To be grateful to God even through this is a blessing from Him. Mitch and Kari, I never want anything to hurt you or Casher and you know you have so many people to lean on. I am thankful you have the relationship you do with God, I know what a gift that is.
    Always with you in spirit,
    Kate
