Barring new developments that call for a renewed appeal for your prayers, this will be the the last post on this blog. Eden is home, up to 7 lbs., 1 oz., and is past her original due date. She is playing the role of newborn at home to the hilt, playing havoc with her parents' sleeping habits and preferences. As is the case apparently with many preemies, Eden will need to be on an iron supplement for some time, so we would appreciate your prayers that her iron levels would become normal and healthy.
But we appear to be past those terrible life-threatening crises, not to be presumptuous. Eden hasn't "spelled" since coming home, is continuing to gain weight, and has had good reports from her various exams and from her in-home nurse that visits once a week (for a couple more weeks to come).
Rebekah is progressing as she continues to heal from her pulmonary embolism, and her most recent blood pressure readings were very good.
How we thank you for your prayers! All of us in the family are longtime Christians, but I don't think we've ever experienced being the focus of the widespread prayers of so many in the body of Christ like we have since early June. The traffic on this site, for example, has been overwhelming and humbling. And this site hasn't been the only way that fellow believers have kept up with developments to show love for us and inform prayers to the Lord. Who knows what would have come had it not been for so many appearances and appeals before the throne of grace? From now on, every moment of joy, every bit of happiness and every experience of love this child will bring into her family will be a continuing answer to your prayers. We cannot thank you enough for your appeals to the Lord on Eden's and our behalf.
For all of us,
Chris Bunn
(Rebekah's dad and one of Eden's grandfathers)
