Casher is hanging in there. The answer is yes, he is still in the hospital! People seem to be asking that a lot lately. It has been 6 weeks today that he was born. We were hopeful he would be home by now but his progress is slow. Once again the answer seems to be that it just takes time for the gut to work. He is still spitting up a great deal. He looses weight and then gains weight. They increase his feedings and then they hold because he doesn't seem to tolerate it. Before he can come home he has to eat well and gain weight. He seems to go from feeling pretty good to being very uncomfortable and therefore very unhappy. We continue to shower him with love. It's tough finding the balance with work and life and visiting the NICU...We are so happy to have Aunt Kristen here for a visit! Hospital policy is that only parents and grandparents are allowed to visit Cash. So, you'll just have to wait to meet him. It will be worth the wait! Thanks for the continued prayers of healing and patience and peace.
He is such a cutie. You guys are in my prayers.

Love your verse above..praying for you both to stand firm with unwaivering faith that with God all things are indeed possible. Praying his intestines will wake up and function normally & that you all will soon be home together!
