David's second tub bath, but Mommy's first!
Look at that little baby belly!
10:00 p.m.
Little David hasn't been weighed tonight, but when he was weighed last night he was holding steady at 3 lbs 15 oz. Susan says he's really filling out.
He had a head ultrasound today and, praise God, it showed improvement again. This is the 3rd ultrasound and 4th week in a row that they've seen improvement.
His O2 is at 79% right now.
His eye exam yesterday went fine. No problems. He has a follow-up check up in two weeks. (They will be giving him an eye exam every two weeks until he's off of oxygen and stable.)
The big news is that he's on air temperature instead of having his bed heated, which means he can now wear clothes. He's in his first little T-shirt today. So cute!
He doesn't have any new orders except for an increase in his iron supplement.
When Susan called, she was pumping and about to go downstairs to hold him again.
On Saturday when she and John held him (this was the first day he was on the C-PAT), he had his first little sneezes. She says, "It was so normal to be holding a little baby and have him sneeze. It was so sweet and so wonderful."
She kangaroo cared him again last night and "got to kiss his sweet face,
which was so exciting!"
They've been changing diapers, cuddling, and tonight she gave him a little pacifier.
Susan says, "Praise God! Everybody be encouraged. Thank you for the prayers. All the prayers are working. Please continue to pray."
I had the same thought today as I was praying for David. I was so happy that he hasn't had any more rough periods since we started the extra prayer coverage from 4:30-7:00 p.m.. I also thought about my friend Sally who said that her daughter would have near-death experiences during the night when everyone was sleeping until an all-night prayer vigil was started. Our little David has been covered 24-7 since the day he was born, and we're seeing some amazing fruit from all the prayers going up on his behalf. Let's see him through his release from the hospital and not grow weary in doing good! Blessings to all of you!
