Joshua Update

Our little boy is 4 days old today!

Lisa was discharged last night from the Hospital and is doing better and trying to recover, but she still cannot get out of bed by herself. We are also exhausted from eveything that has happened this week.

Joshua continues to be on CPAP, but only about 22-25% Oxygen. He is however having trouble digesting his food and is not pooping like he should. Last night they held his feedings for 12 hours and started them again this morning. He is continuing to get nutrition from an IV line. He has been under the bili-lights for the last couple of days as he is a bit jaundice. He also has periods where he forgets to breathe which causes his heart rate to drop, He is receiving caffeine and that has one a good job in minimizing those occurances.

While all of that is scary he is just doing the typical things for very premature babies. Lisa gets to hold him once a day for an hour. This is a very special hour for our family. We appreciate everyone's support and prayers during this hard time.
