Day 10 - PM

Two steps forward, one step back.

While she's still breathing on her own, Peyton needs a little help. Her lungs are contracting too much, making it too hard to re-expand them. Subsequently, the doctors put her on a machine akin to ones used with people who have sleep apnea. It makes sure that there's a certain amount of air pressure in the lungs, keeping the lungs from contracting so far. It's not doing the breathing for her, just helping a little. They also have her on a little oxygen.
Peyton and I finished John today. I'm thinking she's ready for Romans, Leviticus, or Revelation.

In all seriousness, I don't know what we'll read next, but my hope is that by reading the scriptures to her, she'll be more familiar with them as she grows up, that they'll be a natural part of her reading diet, and honestly, that she associates the word of God with words of her earthly father. That may sound off or manipulative, but that's not my intent. Rather that the same love, wisdom, righteousness, forgiveness, truth, and grace found in scripture would also come from my mouth. It will certianly hold me to a higher standard to live out what we read together.

Before I wrap this up, I wanted to say thanks to folks bringing food. We got a real treat tonight. Thanks Drew!
