Probably the most exciting part of the day was definitely the grossest. Wendy reported that Luke was having a lot of trouble breathing. He was writhing around and really struggling. At one point, the Respiratory Therapist was standing by with a manual breathing bag to hand pump Luke if need be. Around that time Luke started to poop...and poop. The nurses started to change his diaper and it just kept coming. As soon as it was over he fell asleep and his breathing returned to normal. The poor little guy must have been working on that for a few days...(sorry for the nasty details).
Unfortunately Wendy didn't get to hold Luke today because of his breathing issues. Fortunately when I got there, things had improved enough that I got to hold him for a while which was cool.
His weight was up 10 grams today, so he's a little over 3lbs 3oz (but after today's events, I wouldn't be surprised if he weighs the same or less at his morning weigh in). His feedings remained at 18cc's, but it should increase tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for Luke's breathing and pooping issues.
Cheers,
Colin

Wow!!! You're going to have to get a "litter box" for Luke now. If anyone protests, you can have the nurses put it behind a row of "box-woods". It's so great that the little guy is "pushing on regardless". Our God is sooooo... good as He looks after this special little child.
Give Luke a hug for all the Gravette family. We continue to pray that his little lungs grow stronger.
God bless all here,

Hi- this is Gina from Berenda. Luke is looking good, so big now! I was wondering, I read one of your earlier blogs and you mentioned other twins that were by Luke. How are they doing? So many to pray for... We miss Wendy here at Berenda. Thank you for all of your pics, its so nice to see the family. :o) God bless- Gina Webb
Praising God for this answer to prayer!
