WOW

This child continues to amaze all of us! He has lost more of his excess fluid weight and continues to get stronger every hour. Today he weighed 6lb2; down from over 7lbs.   His blood counts are stabilizing. He’s doing so well they are letting Jacy nurse him twice today. Yesterday we thought that was still several days away. He still has oxygen in his nose, a feeding tube in his throat, a long IV in his left arm, heart leads on his chest and an oxygen monitor on his foot. Seven wires left to go! (Those first days while being cooled he had 39!)  Jacy and Nathan were cautioned it might take some training to get him to breast feed - nope. At least not this first time- he took to it like a champ! We continue to be patient and are grateful for every step forward. Our warrior continues to defy the odds! Please continue to pray and rejoice with us!
