Loves His Bottle

Drew wakes up every three hours and can't wait to start sucking on his bottle. Today he did so well taking his bottle, it was like a switch was turned on and suddenly Drew knew how to suck, swallow and breathe all at the same time. It has been amazing to watch him grow and learn. He is currently taking about half of his milk by bottle, which is awesome! On Wednesday Drew had his eyes examined. The eye doctor has diagnosed Drew with Retinopathy of Prematurity. Simply put it means that Drew is at risk for retinal detachment which can cause vision impairment or even blindness. It has been decided that tomorrow Drew will undergo laser therapy which we are praying will be the only treatment needed and that he won't have any long term difficulties with his eyes. Drew has had so many challenges and he has fought so hard to overcome them. We know that he will fight hard and overcome this challenge as well. Drew has been very blessed, he has also blessed so many of us who have been able to witness the miracle of his life. We just keep praying that Drew will be blessed with the strength and desire to overcome this most recent challenge and that his doctors will be inspired to perform well. We love Drew so very much, he is so precious and sweet.
