From the Facebook of Jake Pendleton with Samantha Pendleton, from the Boston Chidren’s Hospital. Update on Baby Jude.



Just wanted to give you guys a quick update on Baby Jude; it’s been a long night and his blood pressure kept dropping dangerously low. At first the administration of IV fluid boluses seemed to help, but the decision was made overnight to put him on a constant IV medication called Dopamine to keep his blood pressure up. He’ll wake up every now and then but he is sedated and sleeps for the most part. We try to be here with him every time he wakes up to let him know we are here ...with him, but at times we wonder if he’s in such a fog that he doesn’t even realize we are there. I was encouraged earlier this morning, though; he woke up and stirred and looked around the room as he squirmed around weakly, and it was only when I held his hand and laid my head next to his that he fell back into a peaceful sleep. Perhaps he won’t remember we are right here next to him but, at times, it certainly seems to mean something in the moment. We are proud of him for continuing to fight and for holding on as strongly as he has these past seven months. Hopefully soon he will come out of this and thrive so strongly that we can share our special "early morning smiles" again and do our exercises together like we did in the NICU. Missing this sweet little boy so badly. Thank you all for the love and support you continue to offer. We gain so much from the encouragement of others and the unconditional love of God right now. We will update again if anything changes today. ‪#‎PrayersForBabyJude‬



One of my dear friends back home texted me this quote this morning, and it’s too good to not share:



"What God does IN us while we wait is as important as WHAT we are waiting for." -John Ortberg



This quote reminds me of the apostle Paul’s words to the church in Romans chapter 5:3-4; "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope."
May God be with all of us today as we patiently await His work in our lives through the spiritual battles that we are fighting.
