Getting Better Every Day



Drew is a strong little guy. He is doing pretty well and we have enjoyed this nice stretch of good days. Drew is doing better with his feedings and he is tolerating some lower settings on his ventilator. He has almost doubled in weight since his birth and he looks really good! Drew's favorite night time story right now is "I Knew You Could" and his favorite songs that Mommy and Daddy sing to him are "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" by John Lennon and "Jesus Once Was a Little Child". It is amazing to see how well he responds when we sing and play with him, but he will also let us know when he is tired! Drew definitely recognizes Mommy's voice and tries to pop his eyes open when he hears her. We are so blessed to have him and very fortunate to spend time with him. His next big step will be to get off of the ventilator and breathe on CPAP. We know it will be challenging for him, but we have to believe that he can do it - even if it takes a few tries:) We love Drew so much!!!

We are so proud of little Drew! He definitly looks like he has been gaining weight! We pray for him every day, that he will grow and that his little lungs will get stronger. I think he is about as big now as Amy was when she was born. Crazy! We love you guys!!!!!!
