Psalm 127:3: "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him."
Congratulations on the beautiful heritage the Lord has entrusted to you! We lift up a prayer of gratitude for baby Isaac. May God richly bless this new life!
They hope to be able to come home tomorrow if both Mom and baby do well once antibiotics are stopped. They have two more doses, one in the middle of the night and one mid-morning and then observe for 4 hours to be sure fever does not return. Baby's white blood count was borderline between normal and low, and since newborns cannot yet make new white blood cells, an infection can quickly deplete white blood cells and baby would not be able to fight off an infection and go into septic shock.
My middle son had newborn sepsis at 5 days old. It was a very serious matter, but God answered prayer with him getting better from antibiotics.
As for Isaac, it seems pretty hopeful as the infection was caught right away. Mom's fever is gone, and so we hope she is on her way to full recovery.
Thanks for prayers and please remember them in prayer tonight and tomorrow.
Her precious baby will be born within the next 10 days.
Thanks.

Thanks for your prayers. Please continue to pray for Elfe and Isaac. The doctor is keeping in hospital to monitor for possible infection in both.
Nice to hear about your new grandson. May God blesses both your grandsons in their lives. Blessings to you and to your sons' families.

Isaiah 58:12
"And they that shall be of thee shall build
the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the
foundations of many generations;
and thou shalt be called,
The repairer of the breach,
The restorer of paths to dwell in."
