Jack is two months old today - he'll be 9 weeks old on Tuesday. His gestational age is 38 weeks this coming Thursday. We can't believe it has already been that long.. we are so ready for him to come home! He's still in Level 3 on the NIPPV for his lungs. He has another blood gas tomorrow AM- praying that goes well and he can go to the CPAP. He's up to 5 lbs, 5 oz- growing so fast. He's taking 41mL of breastmilk, 8 times a day- which is about 11 ounces a day. He's still taking all his feedings through an OG tube- we aren't able to start bottle or breast feeding until he's down to the nasal canula (which is after he's off the CPAP).
I decided in church today that I'm going to start praying everyday for a miracle- that Jack comes home by Christmas. The doctors would probably think this was ludicrous, but I thought that I would try. If God isn't ready for him to come home by then, then we'll be peaceful that He has a different plan. It would truly be a miracle for him to come home by Christmas. We will see!
Praying for patience everyday for Jack's homecoming- "But if we look forward to something that we do not have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently." Romans 8:25
Mommy and sweet Jack time- love my baby boy.
