Letting God Do The God Thing Part 2

A few months ago I wrote a blog by the same title. I did not anticipate doing a part 2, but after the events of the last two days I thought that an update would be in order.

My daughter's friend, who is as much a part of our family as anyone that is non blood related could be, had her baby yesterday, August 6. Magdelena weighs in at 3lbs and 15ozs and 18" long. If any of you read the first installment then you know the odds that were against this little baby ever seeing the light of day and if you didn't click on the link(same title) above and read it. I would like to point out a miracle or two.

1. Magdelena lived to be born
2. After her birth she began breathing on her own. A feat not expected.
3. There was concern that her kidneys would not be working, but, she is passing fluids and dirtying her diaper.
4. She was given a pacifier to see she could suck and she did. At 5:30 this morning, her mother was able to feed her a bottle. On many occasions they cannot do this and are fed with a syringe and a tube inserted into their stomach.

I don't know what God has in store for these young parents but it is obvious that he is at work. They have no expectations beyond a day at a time. They have given over Magdelena's life to him and his purpose. Pray for them as they make plans to get to take her home and for wisdom to know what to do and for God's perfect peace if and when they need it.
