5 lbs.!!

Well our little guy hit 5 lbs. last night (actually 5 lbs., 1.2 oz.). I did find out though that he has not had a bowel movement in 3 1/2 days. So this may be why he has gained so much weight the last couple of days. They gave him an enema this morning and he had a bowel movement around noon.

He has taken most of his bottle during the morning hours, although they have had to tube feed between 5-10 ccs during each feeding.

His bloodwork looked good this morning. Praise God for that. He is still on a little oxygen. The doctors are really working to get him off of it, but I know Logan will get off of it when he is ready.

I know this is ridiculous, but he actually seems bigger in that regular bed. If he doesn't stop growing he'll be 35 lbs. by the time he's a year old.

He's doing awesome. Keep the faith that he is very, very close to being completely independent. And that is a MIRACLE!!

Love you,
