Well Logan's evening nurse said he took 20 of his 32 ccs of milk by bottle at his 6:00 p.m. feeding!! She originally told me that she wasn't going to bottle feed him, but she said he was so wide awake that she would give it a try. He did awesome once again!! She said his heart rate was fine and that he did not cough/choke on the milk. She also said that his oxygen use was stable during that time (around 32%). I am just on cloud 9. I am so proud of him for being such a big boy! I really pray that he continues to do well. Praise God that he is doing such miraculous things with Logan!
He also gained weight again tonight. He is up to 3 lbs., 12.8 oz. So he gained 1.1 ounces from last night. The nurse and I thought that he might lose tomorrow night though since he is working now to get some of his food. He is expending more energy than normal. But maybe he won't lose very much. Please pray that he doesn't. I really thank God for all of this new progress.

Oh my mercy!!! He IS such a big boy! Now Logan, you should see a tailor. Your clothes are simply ill-fitting. But I'm sure after all of this time being half-nekkid, you're just glad to get some privacy. I sit in wonder (well, all the Austins do) at how incredible you are. You are our miracle baby. There aren't words for pride and relief we feel at each new milestone.
Eating from a bottle is such big boy's business. I can imagine that you are tired. It's hard work getting big. Mommy is going to make sure that you don't get too tired and have trouble with your bottle. You should listen to her. She is a brilliant SLP! (I'll tell you what an SLP is when you're bigger-- it's too many words for someone under 4 lbs.) In the meantime, keep eating from your bottle and making your Mommy and Daddy's eyes spill with tears. I promise you that they are happy tears.
Thanks Jill, for letting us bear witness to your miraculous son. I'm crying with you about the bottle.
Love you,
Amanda, Ed and Gabi
