Life in the NICU

Sorry it has taken me so long to get an update...we have been a bit preoccupied!

Here is the latest news...
*Davis' intestines have begun working!!! (This is great news and exactly what we want but it can be pretty uncomfortable for him)

*His stomach drainage tube (the one coming out of his nose) was removed yesterday!!!

*He was able to eat for the first time last night (he is starting at 5ml every 3 hours and working up from there....it is a VERY tiny amount but it is a start!)

*He is wearing clothes now

*His incision is healing very well and it does not appear to have any complications

*He weighs 6lbs 7oz
*The doctors are EXTREMELY pleased (and surprised) with how well he is doing...God is good! Thank you for your prayers, they are working!
*Please pray that he can tolerate his feedings and keep moving forward. Also please pray that his pain will be as minimal as possible!!!
