So the battle continues...

So the battle continues. Seth is doing well but of course their are some glitches here and there. His bilirubin levels went up a bit again so he may have to have some more UV treatment. Isn't that weird. That UV light that just looks purplish blue to us some how has magical powers to help little yellow babies?! Technology and science are just amazing! And there is more. Okay so you know how his stomach doesn't want to digest food yet? Well I was starting to get really concerned. He is not very big! He cannot lose anymore weight. But he is actually fine. With IV's he is getting all the nutrition he needs to sustain and increase life! He will be fine and will survive while we all wait patiently for this little warriors tummy to catch up with his warrior spirit! Seriously so incredible! How grateful I am to live in this time where our babies are saved! I too had my babies c-section. I was in labor with my first for 42 very painful long hours and my body couldn't figure out how to dilate past a 7. 100 + years or so ago I and my baby would have died. But no! Now I am blessed with 3 beautiful daughters! If our bodies don't know how to do something thankfully science will pick up the slack and help us out where help is needed!

Today was a very busy day in the Miller household. Poor Jamie. She is just 1 week from her c-section and already she has thrown herself back into the busy life of a mom and church goer. She went to church yesterday. All 3 hours! Can you beleive it? I mean yes I know it was Father's Day and all but c-sections stink and the recovery stinks and the pain stinks and well...I do not think I would have returned to sitting in uncomfortable chairs for 3 hours! And then today?! She has been working hard to make Joseph's, her first born, 5th birthday a wonderful event! Oh our little Joseph is 5 already! I remember the day they found out they were pregnant with the little guy! I remember going to see him in the hospital! I remember his first birthday and how messy he was with his cake! And his first birthday presents! He got this cool shape sorter car! Probably his first car of many! I remember sitting him and my first born Liberty next to each other on their futon. He was so fascinated by her. They are 13 months and 1 day apart.

I remember his favorite blue kitty that he had to have and how tattered the thing became before he made the switch to his Curious George doll. I just love that kid! I remember happily babysitting him oh and making him a newborn outfit! It was the first piece of clothing I had ever made! And taking him into town in the back of my pink volkswagon bug and feeling bad that he had to ride in a pink car! He was my first born until my Liberty came. I remember Drew bringing him to me after I found I was not pregnant again in hopes that he would give me comfort. I sure love you Joseph! I wish we could be there to celebrate with the family! He and Liberty became such good friends and we sure miss this wonderfuly family!

Jamie and Andrew know how to make some incredibly awesome children! And Seth is of course no exception! He is amazing each and every day that he pulls through the challenges of this world! I so look forward to his future!
