Roman's Rainbow
The day that Roman was sent to Children's my sister was watching Presley and Addisen. When driving to church that day the girls saw this rainbow in the sky. Presley quickly said, "Mimi, that rainbow is for Roman. It's Roman's Rainbow." I am so thankful that Mimi took a picture of the rainbow that day.
To me that rainbow was a sign that Roman was going to be ok. God promised Noah that he would send him a sign that the storm was over. To me I will always think of a rainbow as our hope that the storm will soon be over!
Roman appeared to be recovering well and we were told we would most likely be home by Thanksgiving, however Roman got an infection in his intestines. He began taking antibiotics. However this infection was a too hard for Roman to fight. He was rushed back to the ICU. Once again his body began shutting down, he was in shock. His heart also took a big hit. We were also told Roman had a form of MRSA and had suffered from 2 strokes. Doctors didn't give us much hope and said the next couple days were crucial.
Roman had other plans! Roman started to wake up on his own and he fought back. Roman however, was a nice shade of yellow due to jaundice because of the hit his liver took and not being on feeds. Doctors were happy with his progress. Slow and steady wins the race as they would tell us everyday.
We were hoping at this point to have him home by the end of December, but Roman had another plan!!
