Luke's feedings continue to go well - he's up to 13cc's. The Doctor explained to us that Luke's now on a feeding protocol, which is special matrix that multiples his weight by a multiplier to tell the nurses how much to feed him.
We're getting to know more of the other long-term* parents in the room which is good. It was kind of frustrating going into his room everyday and there's all these parents huddled around their kids, but we're encouraged to keep to ourselves so none of us talked to each other. It's pretty hard to do though when you see the same people day in and out and we all share the same concern and love for our kids. It's good to finally be able to share some stories about each of our circumstances.
*NOTE: Long-term parents are parents like us where our kids will likely be in the same room for an extended period. Short-term parents are those whose kids will only be in the room a few days...I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous of the short-termers.
Please continue to pray that Luke stays healthy and continues to grow.
Cheers,
Colin

Well, I'm glad it was a quieter day today and that there's some inter-action with the various parents.
We look forward to this Thursday night's Prayer and Healing service so that we can hold Luke up in prayer and thankgiving before our Lord.
We will now pray for Luke's feeding protocol and his weight gain.
God bless all here,
Don Tomas
