Holding Onto Gods Promises

Hey Everyone! Well since my last post we've been on a bit of a roller coaster! A few days after I made my last post Deklyn was having VERY rough mornings. I honestly thought we were losing him. He would desat, need 100% oxygen and take a very long time to get back up, in the mean time he would be so pale even grey looking and gasping for air. Not a good feeling for us at all. We ended up going back to Intensive Care again and the doctors told us it seemed to be infection related. We were really confused because he had been on antibiotics for a week already so you'd think it'd get better not worse, but they said if an infection is bad enough it can be hard for the antibiotics to penetrate it. Amazingly through all this Deklyn was always happy... the one day during rounds he was on 100% oxygen not doing well, we were talking to the doctors with tears in our eyes wondering what we could do for our son and I look behind me and there Deklyn was, lying in his crib clicking his tongue at his mobile... he is just the sweetest baby boy I know.

We were only there for a few days and got moved back to our regular ward so that was good! But we are still having issues. Not nearly as bad but he still seems to be having some really rough mornings lately. Just needing lots of oxygen and he's been super irritable. He does have one very white spot on his gums and I'm hoping this is all teething related... its not entirely impossible but all this signs point to him having another infection. We are believing this isn't the case. He really can't handle being sick again and we are just tired of it. Its extremely hard watching your child go from great to bad to worse in a vicious cycle and there is nothing you can do but pray. 

In my last post I mentioned Sheridan was looking for a job in the city to spend a few months with us. We felt very lucky that he actually found something quite quickly but it seems like it was to good to true... We've already pumped in a lot of money to this job with nothing coming back and we've decided we need to look for something else before it gets worse. Now, one way we've thought to make some extra money is making Christmas cards! My husband is EXTREMELY talented in the photo editing department. He is so creative and artistic. If you would be interested in a totally unique Christmas card this year please send me an e-mail and I can give you the details! My e-mail address is cassondra.faith@gmail.com 

Like always, thank you so much for the prayers and support! We appreciate every single one of you! Thank you for continually believing with us that Deklyn IS completely healed! We will be home soon WITH our son in the name of Jesus!
