Amy and Louis

Louis had a great day. He was able to get off the ventilator and is back on the positive pressure (CPAP) machine. He had his first feedings through a tube into his stomach. He had ordered chinese takeout, but had to settle for mom's breastmilk. Another big milestone- he had his first poop overnight! We both got to hold him for thirty minutes. Mom got to hold him for 5 minutes the night he was born but this was the first time dad got to hold his son. We finished off the evening with a first reading of Good Night Moon. Dad particularly liked the "good night mush" part. Hopefully, if he continues to do well, he'll be off the CPAP machine by the end of the weekend.

Thanks to everyone for their continued prayers and good wishes.
