Wow, 3 weeks have past & the Lord has continued his blessings upon us. My wife and I visit Chase & Charissa everyday. We take turns at each child's bedside, sing, read scripture, and pray with them. We have each picked a song & scripture passage for each child. I'll get into that later in another entry... ...but let it be known, we have a new appreciation of the fragility of everyone's life. God's providential will is always good...
Updates...
Chase is up to full feedings already! They upped his dosage faster than we expected, but we're not complaining. This means they will take out his IVs today. Chase extubated himself again today, but was unable to breathe on his own. He's back on the ventilator. His head ultrasound looked good. The IVH has started to organize itself and will flush itself out. Dr. Hinkes doesn't see any real danger, but he'll continue to have weekly ultrasounds
Charissa is down to 2mcg of dopamine! We're hoping that she'll start feeding late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. She has to be drug free for at least 24 hours before they begin the feedings. They are a bit worried that she might have an infection. Blood cultures have been taken on a daily basis. So far so good. Her head ultrasound came out negative! They won't do another one until she's 32 weeks gestation. I guess she'll be the bright one! : )
Please pray...
1. Continued assurance of God's presence in your and our lives.
2. Chase's IVH will completely resolve itself in the next weeks.
3. Charissa will begin to feed.
4. Chase & Charissa's respiratory system. The longer they are on the respirator, more the chance of longer term effects. Please pray for healthy lungs.
Praise God for the progress He has allowed in Chase & Chelsea. He has been exceedingly good to us. We do struggle everyday, but the good news of the gospel always encourages us. Please don't hesitate to remind us of God's goodness... ...God knows how often we forget...
Let us not forget the people in China & Myanmar... Jonah 4:10,11
Blessed,
Choi Family

I know it's difficult to share the hills and valleys of life with everyone.
Praise the Lord that we are able to appreciate what He has done for us when we witness the Lord at work.
All of the disaster in the world is a loud shout from God. We need to wake up and be more diligent about sharing the gospel.
We thank God for this continued good news; every bit of progress, every advance, are mighty and happy triumphs. We will continue our prayers for you and Yu Ran and Chase and Charissa today and every day. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11
