Happy Easter

I'm reminded today that we are fully dependent upon Jesus for life: true life with Him. I've often reflected these past weeks on the helplessness of our babies at this fragile stage in the NICU and have forgotten that I am similarly helpless on a larger scale. What a comfort it is to know that the same love that kept Jesus on that cross penetrates our hearts today, and the same power that raised Him from the dead is at work within us. He loves our little ones far more than we do, and He "is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think." Our position of complete dependence is actually the most secure place we could be. 

We're grateful to Him for another good day. They're all eating more and weighing more. Audrey is only about .5oz away from hitting 2lbs! Diaper rashes are improving, and all of the cultures are still negative. I consider it to be a miracle that there hasn't been any more trace of staph found on Charlotte, despite the fact that she had a skin infection that tested positive only a week ago. God is good.
