It has been a very long day (which started at 1:15am). We arrived at CHOC around 5:30am where mom and dad were waiting with Starbucks coffee and donuts. Pulling up to the hospital and seeing your mommy waiting for you immediately makes everything all better - it's amazing how mommy's do that. Their mere presence brings about a peace and comfort that is unexplainable! At the age of 31 years young my mommy still holds me when I cry and wipes away my tears - she's been doing a lot of that lately.
Ryder's lip surgery went well and he is on the road to recovery. We ask for prayers as this has been very difficult on mommy and daddy and I'm sure even more difficult on baby Ryder - I wish his little mouth could tell us exactly what hurt and how we could make him "all better". I will post a detailed update soon but wanted to at least get pictures up of our precious baby boy! Holding strong to Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." God is good!
A waiting room full of love and support!
