I keep going back in and keep being referred to another doctor. This one doesn't know what to do, so we get passed on to the next one. Results of this test are inconclusive, so lets try another one. All I want is to know what is wrong so it can be fixed.
Simon is now almost 6 months old, and has not even gained 2 pounds from birth. Average growth for a baby is to approx double in weight by 5-6 months. That would mean that Simon should be approx 16-20 lbs. He currently weighs 11 lbs 11oz.
I pray daily that we will get answers. I know it's all in God's time, and not mine as I would love to think. I am learning patience like you wouldn't believe. I keep telling God that this doesn't fit into "my" plan. He knows.
I have learned to give my children to God. I have to do this daily, because every day I try to take them back again. They are God's children. He has granted me the gift of raising them. I am blessed with being their mother and being able to teach them to honor God in all they do. When I give them to God, I rely on Him. He guides me. I know there is nothing I can do, and that hurts, but God has control.
This passage has been a comfort to me in this stressful time.
Philippians 4:6-9
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
We will be praying for Simon. Thank you for keeping us updated on the little guy.
