Say Cheese for the Camera!

We have made it 4 weeks without any emergency trips of any kind! Praise the Lord!!!

JW is weighing over 11 pounds and has been doing well on a small percentage of oxygen. We had to bump his oxygen up some for a couple of weeks to maintain his saturation level above 93 percent.

We had an appointment with the eye clinic at santa rosa... good news... JW can see better than me! That was such a blessing.

He is near sighted, just like his mommy and his sight in his left eye is minus 3 and minus 4 in the right eye. He will need to have corrective lenses in the future.

We also had our last Synagis shot which helps protect him from RSV, a virus that could be deadly should he catch it. It has such a horrible effect on baby's respiratory system and with his not having a strong system anyway, it wouldn't be good.

Thankfully we have been virus free.

On April 9th we will have our follow up appointment with the ortho doctor about his dislocated hips and have some answers to all of our questions in that subject. We will also have an audiology appointment to see how well he hears. We definitely know he hears loud noises. He wakes up from a sound sleep even when I walk into his room talking on the phone. Please say a prayer for those appointments, pray that we have all good news concerning these two issues.

Finally, I have a beautiful photo for you of this cute little boy smiling!!

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and for your support and strength you have given our family.

I know I repeat myself on that one, but we are so appreciative of everything everyone has done that I feel I need to say it.

Please continue to pray for this precious little boy and may God continue to heal him from his rough entry into this world.

We have come a long way on God's road, it has been bumpy here and there but thankfully it is smoothing out for now.

Love and Faith,

Allie
