We got a little surprise today when we went to see Luke today...he wasn't there! I guess they moved him because they got a batch of triplets last night and needed the space in the rooms with preemies with more acute problems. Apparently Luke is pretty stable so his new room is more for long term preemies that have fewer issues. Unfortunately they may have to move him back to a more critical room if his breathing doesn't improve. He still swings from high to low for no apparent reason. This is a sign that his lungs still needs some improvement.
Additionally he's having some issues pooping (sorry, but I have to document everything), which could be why his billirubin levels are fluctuating. He should be pooping more regularly, but he's not. I guess the billirubin gets excreted into his poop and then gets expelled when he goes poop....but if the billi sits in there, it just reabsorbs and his levels go back up.
The two big highlights of the day were that I got to hold Luke for 45 minutes and we took some good family pictures of the four of us (Luke, Jake, Wendy, and I).
As for prayers, we'd like to ask that you please pray that Lukes lungs to continue developing at that he poops more regularly.

Wonderfull photo of the quartet. Was it taken with a "box camera"?? I'm watching the 11:00pm news as I write this blog comment.....long day. However, I'm always uplifted when I see the photos of the babe.
I pray - Lord we ask your mighty healing hand in the continued development of Luke's lungs and weight gain. We thank You for Your gift of Luke in all of our lives. We praise You for the love that You shower upon the Warnes family. Amen.
Goodnight sweet children of God,
Don Tomas
