Sorry to be so late on putting up a new post. We have been extremely busy this weekend. Both Nathan and Owen are doing well. Both boys are now on nasal canula. They are both eating and gaining weight. Nathan gets 1ml every hour but should be moving up to 2 ml tomorrow. So far he is tolerating his feeds very well and even pooped!!! Once he has a proven track record of eating and pooping he will be able to go back to Brookwood with Owen. Please pray everything in his body will continue to work well (tolerating his food and pooping and for his lungs to continue developing). This is really great news and we just praise God for working in Nathan's body and healing him. Owen is eating 17 ml every 3 hours. I am able to hold Owen every day. It is a wonderful time for both of us. Owen now holds the title as President in the NICU, given by one of his nurses. He has earned this title by being the baby that has been in the NICU the longest. He will proudly hold this title for many more weeks. Now, we just await for his VP to come back to join him. Please continue the same prayers for Owen. He is much more stable, but we know he will only remain stable by God's power not his own.
Now on to some fun pictures of our weekend.
Georgia Tech played in the Orange Bowl last Thursday. This is Logan and Preston giving each other high-five after Tech scored a touch down.
Logan enjoyed spending some time with Mommy while I was holding Owen. He also like playing with the screens and pretending they were doors with a button he had to push to open them (imagine that).
Here is cute little Owen enjoying some Mommy holding time.
Owen was pretty tired after all his holding excitement and fell fast asleep.
Logan went to Gracie's birthday party at JumpZone yesterday. He had the best time jumping.
sliding
and so did Daddy
and Mommy.
After Gracie's party we ran to Center Point and went to Preston's Grandfather's 90th birthday party. We all had a great time and Logan really enjoyed running around playing football with the other kids.
Here is a very cute picture of Nathan. I took it his morning while we were visiting with him. He was very alert today.

To inject a note of humor:
ReplyDeleteI know how important "pooping" is. After my "big" surgery November 2008, it was the last of the criteria for me - an adult - to be discharged. When it happened, I don't know what happened to my judgment. I was walking the hall and announced it to all the nurses (and whoever else) at the desk.
Poor judgment then - kind of like right now - writing this for all to see.
Beautiful pictures!
