Controlled anxiety and a bath

The nursing Lindy was telling you about has been an absolute BLESSING FROM GOD! We have a nurse coming every day of the week from 8am to 6pm. 4 days of the week for one nurse and the other three for the other nurse. They take care of him with their professional medical knowledge vs. my mothering knowledge, which in JW's case just isn't enough.
Monday JW got his first REAL bath with a baby tub of water, with the help of our nurse. This is huge for him after all of those spit baths as my mother calls them. He didn't really like it but day after day, he is starting to enjoy them.
Today, he weighs 9lbs, 5oz. Hooray. He is 21 1/2 inches long, he is like a newborn.
The nurses work really well with him in doing his exercises and range of motion. There are small improvements but they are huge for him. He is getting better just very slowly. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, they are working. JW is starting to move his hands and fingers and feet more than before which was hardly at all. Even though the movements are slight, it's a huge step.
I just wanted to give a small update while I had a second and show everyone the photo of his very first bath taken by big sister, Tristin.

Once again, thank you for your support and prayers, I am forever in debt to you who have thought of JW and our family day in and day out and for your prayers for this precious baby of ours.
Love and Faith,
Allie
