God is healing

Nathan and Owen both continue to progress, in their own ways. We have been praying for God to heal Nathan. One way to tell if Nathan is being healed is if he poops. We have been praying very specifically for this and over the past 36 hours Nathan has pooped 4 times. His doctors and nurses are so pleased Nathan will start feeds on Wednesday. Please pray that his body would be ready to accept food. Originally feeds were not going to be scheduled for about 2 months, but since God is healing him, they were able to step it up. Nathan is also on a different ventilator that allows him to breath more on his own, with plans of extubating him this week and putting him on a nasal canula. Nathan looks good and seems to be resting very well. Unfortunately I don't have any new pictures of Nathan, but plan to take some soon. (When you forget the camera in the car it is a lot easier to run to the car in the parking lots through the door just outside the NICU (Brookwood) rather than riding the elevator 7 floors, taking the crosswalk to the parking deck and then finding your car (Children's)).

Owen continues to do well. He is up to 15 ml of milk every 3 hours. He is doing well rotating between the CPAP machine and the nasal canula. I am enjoying holding Owen every day. He really seems to like it too. Please pray Owen will continue to do well and grow.
