An update on Rhyder

I'll try and post pictures/a blog about our vacation this past weekend in Port Aransas tomorrow or thursday, but in the meantime here is an update on Rhyder Anderson. Please keep praying for him and his family.

Posted by his parents today: "Well, at 3:42 PM RHYDER LEFT US... He stopped breathing and had no heartbeat... then 8 to 9 minutes later he came back (completely on his own)! ...Another MIRACLE! The nurse nor his doctor could explain it... only he and God know what happened. We are so fortunate and grateful to have him with us! Please keep believing... for our little BIG miracle son who is 14 days old today!"

That ought to pretty much sum things up. He is home, released into hospice care. He has a feeding tube now to try and help him gain weight. He has a hole in his heart which can be fixed surgically when he is bigger, and some other cardiovascular/urological problems. I haven't been able to go and see him or help out in person since between Sam and I there are too many chances we'll accidentally make him sick(er). He already caught a cold from one of his brothers, poor little guy.
