Dear Berkley,
You have your little hands on everything. You pulled your eating tube out today while Mrs. Monika had you. She says, you are trouble! Your feedings are staying at 9mL until you get your last dose of medicine for the heart murmur. You are in the 2lb club now!
I got kangaroo time today for a few hours. Dad sat with us and you just snoozed. Gammy, Nanna, Poppa, Uncle Tristen, Gracie, Uncle Jeffery, Aunt B, and Ty all came to visit today. We are all ready for you to be home.
Day 15
Dear Berkley,
Happy 1st Easter! Today we celebrate God's promises. An old hymn has been stuck in my head for days, you have heard me humming it...Because He lives we can face tomorrow, Because He lives all fear is gone. What an awesome God we have! Everytime I look at you, I am reminded of his love, power, mercy, and our salvation. He has blessed us to be your parents, maybe that in itself is our calling. I will always teach you to go to God for guidance. He will never leave you.
Dr. Israel is coming by in the morning to meet with us about your murmur. I am still hopefull for no surgery, but it's looking as if that is in God's plan.

Day 16
Dear Berkley,
Isaiah 40:11
《He tends HIS flock like a Shepherd. He gathers the Lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart. He gently leads those that have young.》
We talked to Dr. Israel and Dr. Clay, heart surgeon, today and their recommendation is surgery to close the PDA causing your heart mumur. At this moment, the PDA is causing more respiratory issues and your levels have been fluctuating daily. They expect the surgery to take about an hour. We are scared, but praying for the doctors and nurses and for the surgery to be successful. God is with you, us, and them. He will carry is through this. I heard this scripture today on the radio as I was crying about the surgery. God always knows how to give us answers and this was Him telling me everything was going to be okay. He is carrying you. He is leading me.
Every day now something is changing about you. Your hair is darker, you are growing in length, your eyes are opened more, you are forming new wrinkles, and love to keep your hands right by your face. You are the cutest! You have been resting well. A lot of times you give us just a one eye peek when we talk to you. You make us so happy.
Sleep sweet. Grow big. Be brave. I love you.
