An Evening Poem

T’was tonight after dinner, when it rang through the house…
My cell phone was buzzing, so I shouldn't grouse.

Kim had called to say hi and to leave a report…
She was heading back out so she kept it quite short.

ZAC was still doing well, but her feedings ‘had issues’
No drama, no tears, and for certain NO TISSUES!

The volume of food ZAC was made to intake…
Was stretching her stomach beyond what it could take.


Thus it was decided that for her own good…
Continuous feedings to happen it should.

Beyond this small hiccup, ZAC was still doing great…
Fourteen inches in length, three pounds six in her weight.

Kim was heading back up to see her dear child…
And I thought of another, quite meek and so mild.

So when hassle and haggard vex this holiday…
Find time for reflection, find time to pray.

Sleep well, little girl.

I'd say a good title for today's picture is, "Proud Papa".

Remember - "Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle".

God Bless. Dave & Gayle

Zoe, Kim and Phil, this is Pat Kuhn again. I have emailed my sister in Lincoln, she is a Lutheran School Teacher, 4th grade. Nancy is an awesome prayer warrior and she will ask all her students to pray, for Zoe and all of you, too. Nancy's students even get their parents in on all the praying. Happy 8 weeks Birthday, Zoe and you keep on eating, getting stronger and growing. You look awesome in your new outfits, Zoe.

Dear Zoe,

We have been following your story sweetheart. We pray for you every day. The people that surround you in the NICU may be dressed like nurses...but are undoubtedly angels. My wife and I have spent many hours in a NICU watching and praying for our niece Emmy. By God's will Emmy is turning 4 January 7th and is doing very well. Trust in Him always. Have a blessed first Christmas Zoe.


With love,
