On day four our little grandson had lost weight overnight and was unable to leave the clinic with his mum. It was a traumatic time for the whole family knowing this little lad is so small and still has to journey 1000km back home with his family. however, God was faithful and yesterday the baby had gained enough weight to be discharged. He will be weighed again on Friday and John and family should be on the way home by the weekend.
"That is why we walk by faith and not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
Being the grandfather of a very premature baby girl (1 lb 6 oz) I can suggest not to look at the weight day by day, but to look at the long term trend. Our grandchild is now 5 years old and doing very well. Best wishes to you and your grandson!

Hi Jo, Congratulations for the new addition to your family. I am glad that your grandson is fine.
ReplyDelete"we should all walk by faith and not by sight", and that quotation is good also when you sang it. Hope you know the song
Praise God that little Elijah has gained weight... He will be fine with his loving parents. I can only imagine going home from the hospital without my precious baby... Glad it all worked out.

He is gorgeous. I'm so glad that he was able to go home and be with his family. That is a mighty long way for a little guy to travel but God is with him :-) Hugs xx
