Day 32

Autumn continued progressing again today, (I know, I am beginning to sound like a broken record) but we are encouraged every day by her progress. Many of the nurses who have helped care for her over the past 4 1/2 weeks have stopped by to enjoy how great she is looking and have commented on how close we were to losing her. Hearing some of these things in the past few days, have reminded us, just how powerful God is. It reminded me of a sermon that Sep, James & I listened to a couple of months ago, on our way home from Wisconsin. The speaker reminded not to settle for doing something great, but to expect the impossible. Great things happen every day and God uses lots of things and people to do great things. When we thought that we might lose Autumn a few weeks ago, our family asked God to do the impossible. You see, if there is no explanation for it, all credit goes to God. That is exactly what He has done for Autumn - the impossible - and we give Him all praise. He is amazing and we are thankful to be His children.

Mom and Jayna hung around lots today and also spent some time at the movie theater. It has been such a lift to our spirits to have both of them around this week. The staff in the NICU have taken quite a liking to Jayna. The have so much fun together. Here are a couple of pictures of our actions today. Photographer Jayna was back in action today and a couple of these pictures are ones that she took. I can't even tell the difference anymore.




We continued with more learning how to care for Autumn today. Jayna even scrubbed up and put on a mask to give us a hand.

It will never be a broken record how much Autumn is improving, those little things in her life are why she is still here today and God does deserve the glory every single day. We forget the little things sometimes over do the big things and God is with us even then. What great pictures too!!!! WE love you all, The Borders
