Chris and Emily just met with the geneticist, genetic counselor and her OB. They just came out to the waiting room and shared the following with us all, "We need a nursery!" Praise God, Praise God, Praise God!
All of the x-rays and tests still show the same "fatal" rib condition, but the doctors are amazed that he is surviving on his own. The geneticist told them to make an appointment with him in MAY! The doctors asked for permission to send a picture of Cohen to the author of the text book on skeletal dysplasias who lives in Germany - the doctors are baffled. We know it is God! We still need to pray for his strength to breathe and remember that he's still in the NICU. They are going to run an echo on his heart before they transfer him. We don't know yet many details about schedule or what will come next, but for now we are thrilled and crying tears of joy.
Emily is doing much better since the change of meds. She has been able to get out of bed and is sitting much more comfortably in the wheel chair. She and Chris are now in the NICU with Cohen.

Praise be to God!! I'm crying tears of joy for you all! We will continue to pray for Cohen as he grows bigger and stronger! As one of Jack's Veggie Tales songs says, 'Our God is so great, so strong and so mighty...there's nothing our God cannot do!!!' What an absolute MIRACLE! We love you!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!
Tell these baffled doctors that they need to look to the Author of a different Book! To the One who has written Cohen's life in His book before the beginning of the world! Praise be to God! THis is ultimately for the display of HIS splendor. We will keep on praying to the One who hears us.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! We have been praying constantly for you guys and Cohen since you received the news about Cohen. What a blessing your blog has been to me to always remember that nothing is bigger than our God. I love you guys and can't wait to meet your little miracle. You all continue to be in our prayers.
Love, Jenny and Josh Gray

I am crying right now but praising God. Amazing.
"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me in joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!" Ps 30:11-12
Still praying as I weep, dance, and sing!

What an amazing God we serve! He is increasing our faith! This was spoken over my little Emily last month, while she was in the NICU:
"Holy Spirit is on duty. His name is Pneuma and He will be her breath not only in her lungs but in every portion of her precious body. Thank you LORD for Your promise to perfect all that concerns us."
May this be true for Cohen! The same God designed his little body and will complete that work in him.
God Bless You guys...we are interceeding on your behalf.
Brian, Becky, Andrew, & Emily Price

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. CHARLES DICKENS
God comforts us, not to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.
Emily and Chris are surrounded by comforters and believers! This is the happiest I have been in a long time!
Thank you Cohen for reminding me of happy times!
