Drew is one week old today! It is hard to believe that our little guy has already been with us for a whole week. Today was a really good day for us and him. He is oxygenating a lot better and his PDA (the area in the heart that didnt close at birth) is almost completely shut! He responded well to the medication that they gave him and the doctors believe that it will shut completely over time on its own. They did renal and head ultra sounds today. We should get the results from the head ultra sound tomorrow which will better show the full extent of the intraventricular hemorrhage (brain bleed). We are still praying very hard that the bleeding hasn't increased. Overall we were very happy today with his progress and we thank everyone who has prayed and fasted for his and our well being, we are very appreciative of your love and support. Mommy and Daddy got to hold little Drew for the first time while the nurse changed his bedding. It was an experience that we will never forget and a feeling came over us that is indescribable. We love our sweet son so so so much.
