God is so faithful! (sweet Miles)

Here's an email update we got from Amber yesterday. They got to hold their sweet boy for the first time! Keep up the prayers! God is performing miracles and hearing the petitions of His people. We are still collecting emails/letters for Tommy and Amber if you want to send them words of prayer/encouragement. Let them know you are praying for them! :)
Thank you thank you for your prayers. God is so good. He is so faithful.

Hi everyone, We are trying to keep everyone updated and we just discovered we could access the internet from Miles' room.
Miles did well today. His heart rate is still high and he shakes a lot. They definitely think his is withdrawing from morphine. His heart rate has come down a little bit though, so hopefully his body is starting to adjust being on a lesser dose of morphine. His right lung was a little more collapsed today, which is most likely a result of him not getting as much help breathing on the new machine. They will probably try to adjust the pressures on the new machine to expand his right lung more. His carbon dioxide output was good today, so they are able to keep him on the new machine. They also did a ultrasound of his diaphragm again today. His right side still isn't moving as well as the left. They are hoping with time that this muscle will build itself up and he won't need surgery.
Most importantly though Tommy and I both got to hold him today! He was very awake when I held him and he wouldn't stop looking at me. I think he really liked being held because his heart rate seemed to be lower when I was holding him. And he finally feel asleep in my arms. It was amazing. :)
