50 days in the NICU. I have so many different emotions when I think of that, it's hard to even begin to express them. One emotion I can express today is joy. It may be 50 days, and that is a long time, but Joshua was able to non nutritive feed today. (It was a bit nutritive as well) He seemed to really take to it well and enjoyed it. I definitely enjoyed it. It's the simple things that bring so mich excitement!
Thanks for enduring this journey with us! It's one more hurdle that our little man has overcome and it's one step closer to being to the finish line of his NICU experience and the start of a new phase for us all. God has been so faithful. He has allowed us to trust in Him and He has grown us closer to Him and closer as a family. Thank you Lord!!!
Joshua weighed 4 lbs 7 oz tonight. Pray that he will keep the gaining up with the breast feeding!! It requires quite a bit if energy, so they sometimes will lose weight.
Specifics to pray for:
He tolerates his non nutritive feedings well and enjoys them so we can get to nutritive!
We glorify God through this whole experience. We are available to be used how He wants. We will have an opportunity to talk to other families and share the hope we have.
He keeps his oxygenation level up!
For blessings and wisdom for the NICU staff. We can't tell them enough how much we appreciate them all!
