Another wonderful Christmas gift

Today we were able to hold Nathan! It was so wonderful to have him in our arms. He seemed to enjoy our time holding him. Hopefully we will be able to hold both he and Owen every couple days.

Preston took Owen's temperature and changed his diaper today. Owen seems to be enjoying us around him more (I think it is because he enjoyed us holding him so much)This afternoon Nathan went off his ventilator!! Today is a big day for him. The pediatric surgeon is coming to look at him to make determinations about how to proceed with his intestines (start feeding, give him a dye test or just wait a little while longer to make sure it is totally healed). Please pray for wisdom for the doctor and strength for Nathan for whatever they decide he needs to endure.
