Journal 5 -- A New Baby!

Hello, it's an exciting time for my family and I! We have a new addition to our family. My older sister Nancy and her husband Matt just had a new little baby boy on Feb 2nd! So I'm an uncle, again. They have one boy named Reid, and now they have a boy named Will. My mom and I are here with Reid today, babysitting him. I told my family I would be glad to play with Reid, so he doesn't feel left out with all the attention on the new baby.
My sister is feeling ok, however, baby Will is not doing as well. When Will was born, he had some complications with his breathing and had some fluid in his lungs. He is in the baby ICU now, and is on a respirator. We are all waiting anxiously and praying that the Lord will comfort my sister and heal little Will. His condition is common among c-section babies, and he should be breathing on his own soon. However, it's just been difficult for our family because we can't hold him and spend time with him. And his parents are upset because they will more than likely go home in a few days, with Will staying behind at the hospital. I can't imagine what they are going through, but I know the Lord is comforting their hearts. We have so many people praying for that little baby! We would appreciate any and all prayers for our family. We know that God has His hands on us and is in control of everything. We are looking forward to taking baby Will and his mom home soon! Thanks for your prayers and support, and I'll write again soon to update...
