Brady is 2 weeks old. He was very alert today...just looking at me while I talked to him and held his binky. He loves that binky:) It is amazing to watch him move around and lift his tiny head to turn it toward my voice. It takes him several tries, but he doesn't give up. The nurse came over to change his diaper and just as she finished...he made another dirty diaper...LOL! She asked me if I wanted to change him. I was scared, but I did it and it was the best part of my day. The more contact I have with him, the more I feel we are bonding in spite of the circumstances. It breaks my heart to leave him each day:(
Brady gained an ounce from the day before so he is back up to 1 lb. 13 oz. The doctor also increased his feedings to 1 ml of breastmilk per hour. This, along with the dirty diapers, is good news because it means his digestive system is working well.
We are thankful for all our family and friends who are praying for Brady and sending daily messages letting us know you continue to pray. Thank you! Special thanks to Misty & Rena for coming to help us out with the kids, etc. We are very grateful to all our friends who have been able to help and to those who have offered their help. We couldn't have asked for so much support and so many wonderful friends.
We are truly blessed.
