I won’t keep you in suspense. Today has been great. The doctors took Drew off the Bilirubin lights, have continued feeds (although he has been slow in working milk through his system), and he has been maintaining a great oxygen saturation in his blood, with no added oxygen going to his nose tubes. Not only that, but you can tell from the pictures that Mommy and Daddy have had a fun day with their tiny boy. He is opening his eyes a lot more, and looking at us, and it is so fun knowing that he recognizes us when we talk to him. I think that one of his favorite things is being held by one of us, and listening to us talk to each other. As we would be talking to each other, we would notice him struggling to open his eyes. Then we would start talking to him, and laughing, touching him, waving at him, and he would start to smile, and it would get bigger and bigger and bigger. That happened about 5 or 6 times, so you can imagine that we are feeling pretty euphoric this evening. Not only is he doing well, he is happy, and I guess we are all just crazy about our family. Gracie has reached the point of exhaustion, and is looking forward to sleep. It has been so helpful having Gracie’s parents here, willing to help us, and a big “Thank You!!” to Ryan, Jenny and Caedmon, who drove up here and helped us get settled into our longer-term living quarters, and loaded us up with helpful stuff at the “Homestead Studio Suites” where we will be staying for a while. Thank you for your prayers, and I want you to know that your posts on this site, and your emails and phone calls are much appreciated.
