Hey everybody....
Sorry for the no post today....It's been a very busy day. A lot of family came down for the weekend to visit so its hard to get to the computer. Also no pics today....sorry, I know that's the best part. Tomorrow I will post a bunch! Lincoln is doing good! We are still just waiting to see if this chylothorax will heal and he can begin his feeds. They have decided to wait only 5 days instead of 7-14 days to let the duct heal before they to a trial run with his feeds. Today was day 3 of the 5. So Monday they will stop the medication (Octreotide) used to help it heal and then begin with small amounts of a nonfat special formula through NG tube. If it has healed there shouldn't be any drainage from his chest tubes. If it hasn't healed, we stop feeds, wait another week, try again and the chest tubes stay in until the problem is fixed. Pray that the chylo is healed by Monday and he can tolerate getting food! The presence of the chest tubes are so painful and such a huge risk for infection...plus he needs the calories to put on a few pounds which will just help the all around nutrition aspect too. Today Lincoln's chest x-ray was a little cloudy. This means he is getting a little fluid on his lungs. This is caused by high pulmonary flow to his lungs. He seems to be handling it ok since his vital signs and chest sound are good. Pleas pray that his lungs become & remain clear! Other than those two things, Lincoln is doing great! Well, that's it until tomorrow...we will talk to you then. We love you all! J&K

Psalm 20.
Trust in the name of the Lord our God.
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May He send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion. May He remember all of your offerings and regard with favor you burnt sacrifices. May He grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all of your plans. May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all of your petitions.
Now I know that the Lord saves His annointed, He will answer him from His Holy Heaven with the saving might of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. O Lord save the King(and Lincoln). May He answer us when we call.
Josh and Kristen, Thank you for giving us the priviledge of being apart of Lincoln's and your families life, and the joy it is to be praying for you.

Dear Kristen & Josh,
Just wanted to let you know we are still praying for you all. Especially for little Lincoln, but for your strength as well, we know how draining it can be. Love, Patricia & Peter Brown
Hi Josh, Kristen and Lincoln,
Thanks for another good report. One more baby step in God's miracle for each of you. I do pray that your little body, Lincoln, will heal and that you will be able to have some special formula soon. I pray that the chylothorax will heal quickly so all of this can happen. I also pray your little lungs will remain clear and that your Heavenly Father will continue to lovingly take care of you and your very special Mommy and Daddy.
I am glad you were able have family come visit you this weekend. I know they miss being there with you all. Would be nice to see a picture of Grampa Rob, Gramma Vicki and Great Gramma Georgia on the Blog if possible! Please give them my love.
Take care and God's blessings to you. I am praying for God's strength for you both.
Love ya much,
Aunt Donna :-) Joshua 1:9
