I think this is the earliest I have ever written the blog since it was created! My goal is to try and get to bed at a decent hour tonight! Joshua had a great day today. I was able to feed him at 8 am and 2 pm, and then he tried the bottle for the first time at 5 pm. He did great for his first time and being a bit sleepy. We wanted Brenda to be able to teach us how to bottle feed him and we both wanted to be there to see him do it so we tried to get him to wake up. He ate about 6 ml and then was zonked out. He was awake and alert a lot of the time I was there today. It was fun! Maddy went to the doctor and got some medicine for her eyes and nose. Hopefully all that will clear up quickly. I don't know exactly how long it will be before Joshua can come home, but we are one day closer! I remember how I thought it was going to be forever before he was able to wear clothes, and now he just has to get to a point where he can take all his feeds by mouth and we can go home!
Specifics to pray for:
That he will feed well, breast feeding and bottle. He's pretty good at sucking, swallowing and breathing, but still gets tired some.
God will be glorified through his story and He shows us how He wants to use it to draw others to Him.
Rest and health for all of us and that Joshua will stay infection free.
Blessings and wisdom for the NICU staff as they care for Joshua and his friends.
