Blogging a struggle
Mired in an endless funk
Haiku to rescue
Baby gains slowly
Feeding child constantly
Bottom three percent
Tissue grows around
trach, needs to go soon, minor
surgery June 1st
Gurgling as he eats
Swallow study upcoming
Surgery once more?
Baby needs prune juice
Dirty diapers rare; when seen
Wife does dance of joy
Rejoice always, pray
without ceasing, in all give
thanks, I am failing
Ben loves powered swing
Cheesy music pacifies
Dad happy and sad
When I come home, Ben
smiles at me; could there be
anything better?

Haiku just for fun
Stop counting the syllables
Admit it, you were

OK, so I was
Counting, just as you figured
Clairvoyant are you?
When we see Ben's smile
Even in the gloom of doubt
We perceive life's joy
Ah, you creative genius, you. Praying for you. I was terribly amiss in wishing your beautiful wife a happy mother's day. Please let her know that I think she is one of the best mommies in the world. I am also praying for your sweet family.
Whit and Adrienne, don't give up and don't despair. I remember having to slowly pump the bottle into Aaron's mouth until he could actually drink out of a acup. Actually, we resorted to a infant feeder. The weight gain will come and Ben is already a testament to God's power. You and Adrienne are also a testament as to what can be done with God's help. Hang in there. Dark Caro syrup is worth a try too. My kids never like the prune juice but the grape worked just as well. Take care and know that we love you and are praying for your sleep and health. And especially for Ben to gain weight and amaze the doctors even more.
Personally, I like Haiku and I didn't count the syllables. Love to all, Vickie, Joe, and Aaron
teehee! I was totally counting!
Praying for you guys!!!
Father, hold your child,
Breathe Your Holy Breath thru Ben.
Your Spirit can make
All things new and true.
In Jesus Christ we pray it,
Heal Body. Heal Soul.
Bless Ben's Mom and Dad.
Help them see Your Path and Hope.
Give strength for the day!
Amen and Amen
In the name of Jesus, Christ
Amen and Amen.
Hang in there you guys!!!! I hope Ben's surgery went well last week! May God give you strength and peace and take away your worry!! We all know that Ben is in God's hands and God knows exactly what he needs even before the doctors do. May you come to Him and rest in His loving arms!! We love you guys!!
