Today's Update


1:00 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 18. Picture above is of David's first diaper change by Mommy. Yesterday's picture was their first three-member family photo.


  • Susan called to say that there was no change on the head ultrasound, so they're just going to keep watching him. A nurse told her that his body can actually reabsorb the fluid. Susan and John are praying that it will drain on its own.

  • Feedings are up from 19 to 22 ml every 3 hours.

  • They're changing out his bed today.

  • As of yesterday, there was no change to his weight. He's holding steady at 2 lbs 12 oz.

  • He has some blood tests scheduled for the morning.

The most exciting news is that Susan got to hold him again for an hour last night. They sat together, skin on skin (kangaroo care), all wrapped up and full of joy!
