Happy Annibirthsary Day!


Today is a very special day in our family. It's two important holidays in one! Nine years ago, Wendy and I were married...and five years ago, our oldest son Jacob was born. Trust me, we didn't plan for it to happen that way, but we think God has a strange sense of humor. In addition to Jake's presents, we also took him to see his little brother.

Luke had an awesome day today. The nurses discovered his PICC line had a small leak in it today so they pulled it out and put in an IV. This is good because it means Luke is transitioning away from the more critical care. Also, the only extra nutrition he is getting is Dextrose (sugar water). They also increased his feedings to 24cc's.

What's really crazy is his weight...for some reason, he gained almost 7 ounces today (up to 3lbs 10oz!). I seriously doubt the validity of that number, because most preemies gain around .5 to 1 ounces a day. I hope it's true, but I imagine there was an error during the weigh-in.


Happy Anniversary Wendy and Happy Birthday Jake, I love you guys!

Thanks again for your prayers...they are working!

Cheers,
Colin
