Benjamin Chance is here!

As many of you know, Sherri and I recently had a new addition to our family. Benjamin Chance was born September 17, 2009 at 6:16 am. He was only 24 weeks old and weighed in at 1 pound, 5 ounces and was 12.25 inches long. Needless to say, he was extremely premature and very small. After 5 long months in the NICU, Benjamin was able to come home on February 10, 2010. Benjamin is doing great now and is moving on from his stay at the NICU. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers; we really appreciate it.

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
Matthew 21:22

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Day 89 - Going Strong

Benjamin is doing pretty good and is continuing to grow and get stronger. He is now 5 lbs, 4 ozs and is 17 3/4 inch long.

His lungs are still an issue, but they have lowered some of his settings so they are slowly improving. We just have to be patient and remember that it takes time.

He had another eye exam today and they still look the same - mild ROP.

We are still holding him and reading him a bedtime story each night which puts him right to sleep.

Please continue to pray for his eyes and lungs.
