Ezra came off the vent this morning and we are filled with much excitement. As you can see, Natalie was able to hold him...and is continuing to hold him while I am writing. I have a feeling that Natalie may ask for a feeding tube so she does not have to leave.
We again are very thankful for your support and prayers. Ezra still has a few milestones to overcome, yet he is progressing well.
Peace,
Nat, I am so happy to see that little Ezra is doing better. I have been reading your blog daily - thank you for keeping us up to date. Send my love to the baby, Josh, and your family.
ReplyDeleteAnd a big hug to you Nat.
Lots and lots of love and care,
Leslie

ReplyDeleteOH, thank God!! That was sooooo wonderful to pull up the blog and see Natalie holding Ezra. Lots of celebrating on this end of the country. We are praying for his continued healing for sure. Good job Dad (that's you, Josh!).

Hi Nat and Josh,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Natalie holding Ezra, breathing on his own, and eating as well. I hope you will be taking him home soon.

As I left work at our Williamsburg Urgent Care awhile ago, the staff said as they do every morning and night, "How's Ezra?...any news?" You have so many people praying for you and this is exciting to come home and see the latest. Natalie, you may be tired, but motherhood becomes you, sweetie! You are beautiful so it must be the love of the husband of your prayers and dreams. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and many kisses!
Your Aunt Susan
Natalie and Josh,
ReplyDeleteAlthough you don't know me, your Aunt Susan is my "best bud" and she sent me this link to your beautiful site. I am sending healing energies to both of you and Ezra. May he will continue to be surrounded by the love, light, joy, and happiness of all the friends and families that are also sending positive energies of healing his way. He definitely sounds like a fighter that will get through this "speed bump" in his new life.
Thank you for sharing the beauty and strength of this precious (and beautiful) little one.
Hugs,
YES! Praise the Lord. Finally some skin-on-skin.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love and Prayers from the swamp.

Fantastico!!! Nat, you have such a peaceful look on your face with Ezra snuggled up closely. Hip hip hooray that he is doing much better. I'm still trying to will a "fast-forward" to a future more carefree time for you all. You and Josh take care of yourselves too now, okay? Love from another of your former swamp pals, SANDI
ReplyDeleteBrighter days are unfolding...
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to be able to hold Ezra and enjoy him. It is obvious that God gives what we need exactly when it is needed. And...there is not doubt that if we look, we can see God's hand in all of this.
Blessings of peace to you today. We continue to hold you up to the Father.
Natalie & Josh: I spoke with Cecile this morning and she is so happy for you and wanted me to tell you she loves you( and oh yeah, she knew it was to be a boy)...!
ReplyDeleteNat: seeing your face, the emotion of holding that beautiful boy lifts all our hearts. I agree with Tensy...oh for skin on skin.
Thank you for sharing the journey which has Ezra hopping around the globe.
