Today has been a much better day for Karyn and myself, especially for Karyn. She got a great sleep last night, the best she's had in a week and that has made all the difference. She has been in great spirits and is a "one-woman-milk-factory" (don't tell her I said that!) pumping like crazy so our little ones will be well fed (actually, she's pumping so much that they probably won't need it all...oh well, I guess my morning cereal regimen will benefit!).
We both had some good visits with Faith and Makaila today and hope to be checking out of the hospital tomorrow and moving into Sally and Bob's place just off Oak Street. Tomorrow we'll get to have our son, Isaiah, back as he has spent the week with our great friends Mike and Lyndsay (thank you so much!). Apparently their eldest daughter asked if they could keep him and their son now feels like a big brother after looking out for his adopted (temporarily) little brother. That definitely gives us a lot of peace knowing Isaiah has become so comfortable and safe in his second family...but we do want him back. So we look forward to spending the day with him tomorrow and to taking him into the NICU to see his little sisters for the very first time. You better believe I will have the video camera rolling and the SLR camera taking pictures!
The plan for the next two to three weeks is still unfolding, but so far it is to stay at Sally and Bob's place for as much as possible. Karyn will probably stay there full time with her mom and Isaiah and I will be staying there until Tuesday. I will head back to work in Abbotsford sometime that morning. At some point late in the week, I'll head back out, but we still haven't figured out those exact details yet. The NICU at BC Children's Hospital will be our Sun for the next 3 to 4 months, and our lives, job, and house the planets that rotate around it. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers!
Blessings,
Graham

Karyn & Graham,
Just a quick note to let you know that you are loved and in our thoughts and prayers many times during each day. I will write more later but we are in the middle of drywalling our basement and Dave and a guy are mudding and sanding, etc. Chris said he had a good time last night with the youth and Justin still is in Missouri somewhere. When we get the basement finished it will be much better to help host the youth.
Love from the Wood family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and it is nice to see a strong family with God as the head of the family.
