Update

Anaise's comment, for my last post, was a great one. Come to find out, the family now has a favorite nurse at the hospital. She has been a nurse who gives them great hope for bringing this baby home. She gave them a blanket for the mom to sleep with for a couple days. Then, when they feed the baby, they can hold him in this blanket so he can smell his mommy. He is getting several drips of breast milk now. Also, the nurse said not to feel sorry for the baby. He has never experienced another life. I mean, he is the way he is and he doesn't know anything different. It reminds me of something my deaf teacher said. She says she doesn't miss music, she doesn't care about music and no one needs to feel sorry for her. She has never experienced it and she doesn't mind that at all. As for the baby, we are still waiting to see what is going to happen.

People like that nurse, who offer comfort even in the smallest ways, are the best people in the world. Kind words, kind actions, loving prayers offered by kind neighbors (like you) are what keep people in crisis lifted up and able to bear their burdens.
