What an amazing 5 days so far. We just got back from another good visit with Sam. A couple good things happened today. He got his first dose of Mama's milk today. They only gave him .6 ml to make sure he didn't have any bad reactions but that is a big step. To give you an idea of how much .6 ml is, stack 2 pennies on top of each other and that's about it. He also graduated to a bigger diaper! Ok don't get too excited, its actually not really bigger, but more absorbent since he is peeing more. He had been having some ups and downs with his blood sugar the last couple days but they seem to have gotten that under control today. They also decided that his billyrubins (somebody spell that) were in much better shape and they turned off the jaundice lights for now.
Specific things to pray for: He is having a chest x ray tomorrow. Dont know if they are looking for anything specific but just hoping it turns out ok. He is still at risk for infection so please pray that the bad germs stay away. Also pray that he goes "poopies" (thanks Titus) soon. This will be a good indication that his intestines are working well and will also get some of the bad stuff cleaned out of his gut.
Thanks for all the support and prayers. We are amazed and overwhelmed by the amount of people that are praying for him. Keep up the good work!
