update - no news is good news

first and foremost - thank you for the outpouring of love and support these past 24 hours. you have all helped tremendously to prop my family up and keep us going through all of this. God's power and mercy are evident and our prayers are being answered every minute of the day. HIs faithfulness is unwavering and so very reassuring.

Dillan's last episode was last night on the plane ride up to UCSF, which means it has been about 18 hours. He has a great appetite, strong reflexes and is interacting with his dad, grandpa, aunt and great-aunt just as any healthy new born would. We are very encouraged.

all of the test results have continued to come back normal and we can only speculate that the medicines they started him on are doing the trick and helping him do so well. no clear signs of an infection or seizures, but nothing has been completely ruled out at this point.

dillan is truly mine and lukes child as evident in his stubborn will and his love for warmth. in the baby warmer, he throws his head back, tucks his hands behind his head and kicks his legs out - just like mommy and daddy when we are working on our tans.

Luke is an amazing father - providing for Dillans every need and being the best advocate a baby could have. i am so proud of him and how well he has managed to take care of all of us through this crisis.

i continue to pump and prepare myself to be with my men again.

specific prayer requests
- wisdom and guidance for all the doctors and nurses and others providing care for dillan.
- strength, rest and grace for luke, me and our family to provide the best environment and care for dillan as possible.
- discernment on when and if i should travel to UCSF to be with my boys.
- delivery from this whole craziness and the complete healing of dillan without any relaspe ever ever ever!

love to all. thank you again for all your support.
