Today Is Not Your Day

You know the saying, "Today is not your day...tomorrow is not looking so good either" Well that's the kind of day Cael's having. He won't be rooming in with us tonight, but the doctor seemed pretty confident that tomorrow night he'd get to stay with us and home free on Wednesday. His weight was up 20 grams last night and they want to see another gain like that tonight and lots of wet diapers. So pray for wet diapers...but not too many so he gains weight :)

Overall, Cael's health is really great. He won't have any long term problems from any of this and we couldn't be more thankful for that.

Cael will for sure be fed through the feeding tube at least once today so Eric and I can go take a CPR class. It won't certify us, but it's geared towards infant and children. We'd rather know what to do and never have to use it than need CPR and be clueless.

So anyone that knows me, knows that I love music and often email lyrics to people that I either like or think they might relate to (even when they don't ask for them). My song for today is by one of my personal favorites, Carrie Underwood and is called, "Jesus Take The Wheel"

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on

Ooh, Jesus take the wheel
Ooh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
