Robert did very well last night. We arrived at the hospital to find him snuggled up with a rolled-up blanket, sleeping peacefully. We should know this afternoon what time his procedure will be tomorrow. In the mean time, I believe the doctors will be doing some more imaging today to determine the effect (if any) of stopping the prostaglandin. He’s holding up really well and it seems that he gets cuter and cuter every day.
We’re still not able to hold him, but it was mentioned that we may get to hold and feed him after his procedure, provided things go smoothly.
Also today, we’re hoping to get to see some of my family that lives nearby. I mentioned that my uncle and his family live about 20 minutes from the hospital and my maternal grandparents live just over the bridge so we’d really like to spend some time with them.
I’ll try to provide more updates as the day goes on. Ideally, today will be boring and uneventful as far at little Robert is concerned. Please continue praying; we are daily seeing the effects of the prayers of the saints.

We missed you at church today and especially tonight. We had a ladies’ prayer time and a men’s prayer time for the three of you after church tonight. We prayed for extra stamina for you, for super-natural strength for you Christopher, and for peace and faith and comfort for you Rashell, for the ins and outs of the procedure tomorrow and for all manner of things for “our” little Robert. (Who is so beautiful, by the way–I’m just now seeing pics!)
for school, CM, although we feel you probably are so far ahead…:)
We also prayed that you would feel our love, though so far away…
We do love you!
Our prayers and our hearts are with you.
Oh, and we did pray (in a lesser way)
I love you extra, Rashell!

I missed you too!
I am so thankful you were able to hold little Robert! I know both you and he needed that time. I am also thankful you have had extended family time; God was gracious in allowing you to end up there with family so near.
The pictures are great–he is a precious little one. We are looking forward to meeting him. Know that we love you all and are praying continually for the 3 of you as well as for your other family members,the surgeons, the anesthesiologists,nurses, etc.
Love you,
Charlotte
