Where we Are Today

Another day and still my Charlie is here!  I thank God for the opportunity to be with him.  My list of thank-you’s is miles long, and I have been greatly touched by every message that has been left here on this site.  You have never met me, but I feel the prayers over the miles. 
 
Today was the first time anyone mentioned any sort of future for Charlie.  The battle for his life is still great, but FINALLY someone has given him a chance.  I am clinging to the chances and keep hoping for the next day to come.
 
No more bleeding in his brain.
 
Blood pressure continues to rise. 
 
Keep sending those prayers.

In one summer I had a baby who was hospitalized for five weeks, quit my job, and moved back to my hometown. This blog is about starting over.

    Katy,
    I am so glad to hear that your Charlie is coming along.  Please keep us up to date!  I have added your name to prayer lists in my community, and my prayers continue to be with you.  "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

    I am so happy to hear of Charlie\’s improvement.  You and he continue to be in my prayers, and I asked my mom to add all three of you to her Reiki circle.  Not sure if you believe in that, but all the good vibes can only help.  I hope to hear more good news soon.

    Thank God, we will keep praying.  I couldn\’t get you guys off my mind since I read about his birth earlier today.  By the way, I love the name Charlie, it is a strong name, for a strong boy.  Did I tell you my husband was born 2 months early and barely lived as a baby? He did and is okay, I realize the circumstances are different, but we are rooting for him.

  8. Jennifer says:

    Don\’t you worry about any thank-you notes– I\’m sure everyone who\’s been thinking of and praying for Charlie will just be glad to hear that he\’s improving. I know I am.Wishing him and his whole family the very best. Be strong, little Charlie.

    I\’m so glad Mr. Charlie is progressing!  I know this little man is loved  so very much.   Keep you spirits up… We did NICU 7 years ago.  It can be a daunting place.  Just keep moving forward, you are doing a great job.  If you ever need to talk or vent…feel free.
     
    Sending prayers to you all.

    Charlie, you and the Hub have not left my thoughts for more than a few minutes since I read your posts.  Every time I think of you all, I say a prayer to God for strength for all three of you!  Please just remember that you are not alone.  There are so many of us here in cyberspace praying for you and sending thoughts of strength and healing your way.  Please keep us posted on little man\’s progress as much as you can.  I hope you are doing ok as well.  You have just had major surgery so make sure you take care of you too!  I was ecstatic to read your update today and I am going to look forward to reading many more great updates!!! 🙂  Hang in there and much love to your little family.

  27. Gina says:

  28. Siobhan says:

    Nora informed me of your news by e-mail.  I\’ve been around to your Space a few times, specifically when you were Space of the Week.
     
    I wanted to let you know there is one more person rooting for your little family.  When I read your recent blogs my heart went out to you all.  I immediately got to my knees on the bedroom carpet and offered up a prayer for all of you, including the medical staff.  I pray and hope your little Charlie will be strong and fight every day!
     
    I\’ll definitely be checking in.  Best wishes, Siobhan

    To KM and Hub:  Antonella informed me of the news because I haven\’t been blogging. Please know that baby Charlie is in my prayers, and in the prayers of my family.  Like you said, we have never met you, but I feel like I know you and I am sure everyone who comes here feel this way.  We are right there with you, KM, and God is holding Charlie right now in His loving arms.  You are not alone, and I pray for complete healing of your son.  Hang in there and have faith.  I know it is not easy but keep trusting God.  Lots and lots of positive vibes from me to you.  Hugs.
