Long Night

Just a quick update and a prayer request.  It has been a very long night.  Nathan's heart rate has dropped below 50.  The nursing staff has been monitoring him very closely but all are concerned.  Nurses from the entire floor have stopped in if they didn't see our nurse around to make sure we were OK.  A couple even came over when the nurse was there.  With his heart rate being that low there is not much room to mess around.  What they watch for however is the blood pressure and to make sure his blood flow is still circulating through his body properly.  All of these things are great so we are just waiting the low heart rate out.

The problem is, and it is a good problem if you think about it, when the heart rate is that low his body won't let him fall into too deep sleep, it keeps waking him up.  It also causes him to be extra cranky and add that to a lack of sleep and we are looking at an even longer day today.  Because of him not sleeping well and crying all night I have been up with him.  I will, thankfully,  have a chance to sleep today and am heading to bed in a minute.

We are asking that you keep Nathan in prayer as you have been.  Pray for wisdom for the doctors and that Jeremy and I continue to rely on God and be reminded that His will be done not ours!
