A rough night

The good news from last night is that the boys are doing very, very well. They have all made it through the night breathing on their own, which is better than we expected given their prematurity. If they can fight through a bit more, they may avoid having to go on a respirator.

Ginger has had a bit tougher time. Her blood pressure has been very low since about 3:00 am, and she will need a transfusion later this morning to help get it up. If you wish to pray, please pray that the transfusion will raise her blood pressure and make her feel better, and that there will be no complications from the transfusion. Thank you all for you prayers and for following us through this process.

Here is our prayer for your family this morning:

Blessed are you, sovereign God, gentle and merciful.
Your only Son brought healing to those in weakness and distress;
he broke the power of evil and set us free from sin and death that we might become partakers of his glory.
Remember in your mercy our sister, Ginger as she continues to recover from childbirth. Guide all doctors, nurses and medical staff who serve as you healing hands here on earth.
We give you thanks for the 3 gifts of life, Winston, Wesley and Charles, born of Ginger and Rob but from you. Continue to strengthen their lungs that they may breath fully and deeply on their own. We thank you that when we were formed from the dust, you breathed in us the breath of life, may they feel your presence and breath moving through them and sustaining them as it sustains us all.
In the fullness of time complete your gracious work
that we may be restored in your image, renewed in your love, and for ever praise your great and holy name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In the name of Christ, the giver and sustainer of life we pray, Amen.

A big welcome to the world for Winston, Wesley, and Charles, obviously amazing little boys. Don't let a moment go by without knowing how much love and prayer is surrounding you and Ginger today. Thanks for this wonderful blog, which I now think of as 3 Bunns Fresh Out of the Oven!

Love,
Laurie, Jeff and Sadie

Glad to hear the boys are doing well - I hope they continue to be so strong!

Rob, please pass my well-wishes on to Ginger! I'll be thinking of her. Tell her if she needs anyone to hold her hand and sing to her and to tell the nurse not to make eye contact... I'm there!
(I owe her one...)
