Sleepers Update

Thanks to many of you for your emails, words of encouragement but most of all for your coming alongside kind of praying!  It has been felt and so warmly received!  It is so encouraging to not feel like we are carrying a burden alone.  I guess it's been over a week since I asked for your help.  Sleeping remained much the same, with frequent night wakings that roused siblings.  But I have felt your prayers in the ability to love patiently during the day despite weariness.

Saturday night Zeke was up 6 times, waking each of his siblings at alternating times.  Out of desperation for sleep for our family, we decided to move Zeke into our guesting room, across the way.  The first night was great, only waking for 10 minutes.  The second night, not so fabulous, as he cried for almost 2 hours.  But last night . . . he slept all night long.  Praise be to God!!!  And even better, his siblings have had 3 nights of undisturbed sleep. 

So as long as guesting and weather permits, I think we'll sleep him in the living room.  Granted, tonight may be a different story.  Let alone what jet lag and sleeping in various locations all over the Midwest?!  But I'm celebrating in last nights sweet gift!

Thanks again for joining with us!
