Luke drank a full bottle today! Not bad for his second day...although he doesn't quite have the breathing during eating part down yet, he's getting there. Apparently they have Occupational Therapists" that help teach the babies how to eat & breathe properly. Though there's no word on if they'll be able to help him find a job when he graduates from the NICU.
Luke also gained almost 2 ounces last night...he's up to 1780 grams, which is 3lbs 14oz! Once he hits 1800 grams, they'll move him to an open crib. I can't wait for him to get out of that box he's living in...he feels so distant and fragile when he's in there. However, the box has done it's job and helped my son thrive...for which I am very grateful!
Please pray that Luke stays healthy and continues to eat and breathe well.
Cheers,
Colin

Wow!!! It looks like the "box boy" will soon be the "otta the box boy". Perhaps, this is a taste of what the future holds for Luke as he develops new space ship drives at JPL.
The clan continues to pray for - GWBPPRSSB - for our little one.
God bless all here,
Don Tomas
