12/28 Update

We have had a good day with Sam so far.  We got to spend about and hour with him this morning.  Yesterday was a special day because Keenon got to hold him for a few minutes and we both got to change his diaper at different times.  The nurses keep saying that they are waiting for him to get off his "honeymoon" period.  We cant tell for sure but it looks like the doctors and nurses are a little surprised at how well he has done so far.

Today is a big day because he is going to have his first brain scan.  They will be checking for bleeding and any other problems.  The nurse practitioner said that brain bleeds are very common with babies this premature, but we are hoping and praying that they wont find any major problems.

Everybody continues to be so supportive and we thank God for every moment we get to spend with him.

We will try and keep this blog updated as often as possible.

His Mimi has already bonded with him. He has Keenon's nose and Ryan's feet. Can't believe how much I love him already. Believing and praying each moment of everyday. I love you Sam the Man.

Saw the posts on Linda's fb and looked further. First, was surprised to see Ryan (the little boy who prayed for me while I was in Japan)is a husband and a daddy! Then, to see those little footprints of this precious little baby. Please know that we are praying for Samtheman and all of you! So, prayers are being lifted up in Texas!
