Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

Sorry for the late post.

Mason had a fairly comfortable day. He started off the day almost right on the stroke of midnight and was up playing with Mama at first, then Papa took over. All in all, he stayed up and played for about 2 and a half hours. We decided not to give him anything to help him sleep and just enjoyed the play time. He slept well for the rest of the night and even allowed us to sleep in until about 8:00 or so.

After waking this morning, he did well with his saturations and stayed up for another couple of hours playing with Mama and Papa and his nurse once again. For the rest of the day, until about an hour ago, he slept most of the time. His saturations were all over the map again with lows into the 30's when agitated and into the 90's when sleeping. Most of the time, he stayed somewhere in the 50's and 60's when awake.

Though we didn't get much play time during the day, it was reassuring that Mason was sleeping comfortably. However, since he slept all day, its entirely possible that he will be up a good portion of the night. Again, we'll take what we can get and treasure each moment.

Celestial Wings of Prayer


As softly as the dove doth fly
Across this land so free
As steadfast as a ship that sails
Across a tranquil sea.

As soothing as a summer rain
That falls upon the ground
As wondrous as a drop of dew
In morning light, is found.

As tender as a baby's kiss
Upon a mother's cheek
As sturdy as a father's hands
Whose strength we often seek.

As lovely as a blooming rose
Upon a climbing vine
As steady as the heart that beats
Within this breast of mine.

As humble as a beggar's plea
Upon a listening ear
As caring as the one who kindly
Wipes away a tear.

As fragile as a new born colt
Who tries to find his way
As graceful as a stately swan
One fine September day.

As gentle as the rush of wings
Of angels bound in flight
As sacred as the eastern star
That shone one holy night.

As vital as the Book of Life
You'll find a refuge there
As precious as the Lamb of God
The celestial wings of prayer.
