He has obviously kept us pretty busy, so busy that we couldn't update our blog:) We are excited now that winter is finally over. Drew was getting anxious to explore outside and get out of the house. Today we went with the Cooks on their new boat to Utah Lake. It was our first time on the water this year and the water was FREEZING but it was a blast. Drew was born for the water, he loves the boating life. This is going to be an awesome summer trying to keep our eye on the little guy. He is a professional crawler and is pretty quick. We are working on walking but he prefers all fours:) When he crawls in the grass, he wont let his knees touch the ground. He crawls around on the grass with his hands and feet just like a little puppy. It is so cute to watch the way he interprets the world. Drew is interested in every little thing that he sees. He is also getting pretty good at copying a lot of what we do! This spring has been extremely busy for our family. Eric's brother Mitch came home from his LDS mission and he got to see Drew for the first time! Eric's two brothers, Brandon and Jason each got married in March. Drew now has two new wonderful Aunts(Christi Anne and Kenzie). Drew is beginning to make a lot of sounds and he has even learned a few tricks:) He has graduated from a one trick pony to understanding quite a few commands. We made sure to teach him some basic sign language. Eric's favorite is the sign for "milk". It is pretty funny to watch Drew's serious face stare at his hands while he squeezes and relaxes his chubby fists. As you can tell, Drew has provided us with a lot of entertainment and it just keeps getting more fun every day.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-85813404367536536682009-01-01T14:07:00.001-08:002009-01-01T14:07:40.795-08:00<div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w476.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w476.photobucket.com/albums/rr128/jennytowner/c8b99883.pbw" height="360" width="480"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s476.photobucket.com/albums/rr128/jennytowner/?action=view¤t=c8b99883.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div>Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-1385091098610287772009-01-01T13:05:00.000-08:002009-01-01T14:02:35.791-08:00Happy Birthday, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!Wow we cannot believe that Drew is already 1 year old! Last month on November 16th, we celebrated Drew's first Birthday. It was an awesome day, but also a little emotional for us. With the busy days that we have had since Drew came home in March, we had not really had a chance to truly reflect and talk about the day that our son was born. On his birthday we read some of the things that we wrote when Drew was born and looked at the first pictures that we took of him. The emotions of that day filled our hearts and it was an experience that is difficult to describe. We were extremely happy, and grateful yet there was a solemn feeling. One of our good friends told us this past week that nobody is immune to adversity and that it is a part of this life to strengthen us and at the same time humble us. We hope that the feelings and emotions of Drew's birth will never fade and will continue to carry us. Here are a few words from something Eric wrote on the day that Drew was born, "today I became a Father. today I came closer to Jenn than ever & together we took a giant step closer to our Heavenly Father. Weighing only one pound four ounces and measuring almost 13 inches, Drew James Towner has touched so many hearts & forever changed our lives. Drew is a very powerful and sweet boy, we love our son." Drew now weighs around 19 pounds and he is doing really well. His laughter seems to make time stand still and we couldn't imagine life without him. As you can tell from his pictures, Drew insists on NOT wearing his glasses:) We are trying to keep them on more, but he is very determined to win the battle. Thanksgiving was another kind of emotional day, as we could remember exactly what was going on during the hard stages of Drew's life a little after he was born. It is really weird to think that this time last year Drew was in the isolette (incubator) and on a ventilator. We will always be thankful for our little miracle. Time flew in December and Drew enjoyed every minute of the Christmas season. He crawled all over the house pulling down decorations and tried to eat the pine needles off of the tree:) He is at a very fun stage right now and it is a lot of fun to teach him new things, such as turning on and off the light switch. It was fun to watch Drew play the "baby Jesus" part in our traditional Nativity Scene. Eric was one of the sheep! Drew went sledding for the first time and of course Eric wanted to take him down the hill and over a little jump. So they went down and instead of ramping off of the jump they plowed through it and snow flew up all over Eric and Drew:) Drew got a little scared and started to cry but he got over it quickly. We all joked about how Drew looked like the little brother from the movie "The Christmas Story" all bundled up in three snow coats! On Christmas day Drew was spoiled by his Grandparents and Aunts & Uncles with more toys and clothes than he knows what to do with. We had a wonderful Christmas with our little guy, he can always put a smile on our face. This was an extraordinary year filled with a lot adversity, tears, laughter and joy. Every time we see our little Drew boy we are reminded to put things into a grander perspective. He reminds us to think of what really matters in this life. He inspires us to strive to be a little better.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-89546896528578681852008-11-14T12:17:00.000-08:002008-11-16T12:40:12.111-08:00Fun Fall<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGVdBX7h9iBG3uDMxdjF3qh2phTCRM7VwzXIsYowDv3bMGroMJ4UKlO9KPXFBmX34qxpJSC3h_UjbKSniObrggmcnbKAjynBeRiXag2xf8kSG2cBmDEIabmZuacsrdQZ0ArWlUzFr_qVk/s1600-h/IMG_5775.JPG"><img style="float:left;

He loves going to his Uncle's high school football games. For Halloween Drew dressed up as a lobster:) It was so cute, he kind of picked out his own costume. When we were at the costume store he got really excited when we showed him the lobster costume:) Drew is a really happy little boy. His favorite tv show is sponge bob! Ya, he really does like to watch sponge bob for a couple of minutes, especially the opening song. He learned to scoot around on his tummy a couple of weeks ago and now we can't leave him in the room alone. He can army crawl across the family foom now and he seems to get into everything that he is not supposed to. It has been a little difficult to keep his glasses on him, hopefully he will start to leave them on soon. On Sunday Drew will turn 1! We cannot believe how fast this year passed by. We love our precious little guy so much.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-67759290624354158672008-10-19T22:48:00.000-07:002008-10-20T23:42:05.610-07:00Sweet Glasses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMaFml6Gs0yowgikTYgPW7JCCjqtYJg0wIqgMBUgH41XX-MGi34QMoBgMMSxFQAsBwKl8OgkPzeg7-VXAk_vPICl9_OJ2oAtUEJjfaVSJfmr1X-WdSQpFo7lI455GFkhIcNNagwnZ3DH0/s1600-h/IMG_5632.JPG"><img style="float:left;

He was prescribed glasses to help correct a minor lazy eye and near sightedness. Both of these conditions are common affects from the laser treatments that he received while in the NICU. He is so cute with his glasses, it really makes him look a lot older which is kind of sad. Sometimes we wish that we could just stop time for a little while or atleast slow it down. As you can see in the pictures, it is a lot of fun trying to keep the glasses on his face and out of his mouth:) Hopefully he will get used to them soon. This Summer was a lot of fun for our family. Drew loved our trips to Lake Powelll and he had so much fun hanging out at the pool. Drew has been doing well with almost everything and he is starting to move all over the place. He hasn't quite learned to crawl yet but he rolls all over the house. He loves to eat his baby food and he is so interested in what we eat. He is extremely curious and wants to check out everything he sees, and of course put everything in his mouth. Jenn took Drew to Gardner Village to see some pumpkins and to take some pictures, he decided it was a good opportunity to lick the pumpkins:) This past weekend we had a blast carving pumpkins with Jenn's family. We think Drew enjoys Halloween, we'll see how long he lasts in his costume. Tonight was Monday Night Football for the Broncos and Drew was pretty sad that they got destroyed! He doesn't really like it when Dad yells at the TV so this season will be a little more mellow in our house:) We enjoy every day with our little guy, he bring us so much joy.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-36683983500413174612008-08-26T21:57:00.000-07:002008-08-26T22:15:41.504-07:00Fun Summer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtb6LZGP31QTgtTLiEgNBQG1EMds4V8ol9ZTTPtRw-bshEW9R4FDSRT5q5OXKb6g_5Ie9FZRz_X0Acq4TaWa-blpJY4qQgwUWqT78Mfz_uIu-Pgs7Z0Ykc4c8bXJCjruf04zCi9AYsZcY/s1600-h/IMG_4960.JPG"><img style="float:left;

Well Drew has had a very fun summer. Drew now weighs almost fifteen pounds and he is doing awesome. It is impossible to forget what we experienced when Drew was at the NICU, but it seems like such a long time ago. Everything seems to be fairly normal now with our little guy. We are still a little cautious with him, but for the most part we are just enjoying taking him to all of our favorite places. For the fourth of July we took him to his first Salt Lake Bees baseball game and he really enjoyed the fire works afterwards. We put little baby ear plugs on his ears and he just stared at the fireworks with a curious look on his face. Drew loves boating, golfing, and hiking. We took him to the Champion's Challenge Golf tournament at Thanksgiving Point where Drew got to watch Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorentstam and Deron Williams play golf. The highlight of our summer was swimming with him at Lake Powell. He loves exploring and experiencing new things. We cannot imagine life without him; he has brought us so much joy. Drew's uncle Ryan came home from his mission and Drew was so excited to see him. Drew was also excited to attend his Uncle Tyler and Aunt Rachel's wedding! This summer has been a lot of fun for our family and Drew has made it so joyful. In a couple of weeks Drew will have another eye checkup, so we hope that will go well. Drew had his first little cold last week and he got an ear infection also:( Other than being a little grumpy he handled it pretty well. Drew is working on sitting up and is trying so hard to scoot on his tummy. He lies on his tummy and kicks so hard and then looks around but he hasn't quite learned how to actually move anywhere:) He has had a lot of support from various specialists who work with his development. We are still amazed at his progress and grateful for everyone who has cared for our sweet son. Hopefully this week we will find some time to take him to go see all of his nurses and friends at the NICU!Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-81610532180843833332008-06-15T23:51:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:32.371-08:00Happy Father's Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnNbe7XfhM4uNQTJ11SgIOTJUl6Ah_Rb3sDcb_Mf0I5OcVfVGPebUimNj7AN1tsFyK4dpuwGghLcwjHtzXwEWSQZ8vVJVj5OL3jOvNHM-q8TKzObfLiHtCM66va7gPC-13O1yNA0uDsw/s1600-h/IMG_3891.JPG"><img style="float:left;

Drew has the best Daddy ever! Eric is the best dad and we love him so much! He is such an incredible guy and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! He is truly amazing!!! Two weeks ago Drew had his hernia operation and everything went really well. We stayed over night at the hospital just to make sure that he recovered from the anesthesia. It was really weird to see him with IV's and hooked up to monitors again. Drew was really tough, he healed fast and it seems like he is a lot more comfortable now. This past week has been a lot of fun with him. Drew had his first experience boating and swimming! Well not really swimming, he just dipped his feet in the water and splashed around. It was so much fun, he is really starting to enjoy being outside. Drew also learned to roll over from his tummy to his back this week! He has kind of been giggling a lot lately and he really giggled loud today when we kissed his cheeks. We are enjoying every day with Drew, when he wakes up in the morning we get so excited to get him out of his crib and play with him. He brings a lot of joy to our family.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-25110153985735597092008-05-28T22:12:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:32.947-08:00One More Procedure<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7EY9k_NfLbWsa_cUqr7-N-wc1E-FKjrfy9-GKDABrV5x2hvLmIp1xFuO6BPI8b5TMzafNDFamM6i3zAr5UqsmQ_eRb38yMsutZfqFb5Vfur53PHYB9X7dnj6LYzumkiIZPLvTLl9Yyzs/s1600-h/IMG_3645.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7EY9k_NfLbWsa_cUqr7-N-wc1E-FKjrfy9-GKDABrV5x2hvLmIp1xFuO6BPI8b5TMzafNDFamM6i3zAr5UqsmQ_eRb38yMsutZfqFb5Vfur53PHYB9X7dnj6LYzumkiIZPLvTLl9Yyzs/s320/IMG_3645.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205680771642694754" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOQUo56IEAtkLB8cZxSgbcf3uHR9VmyDqwVcvQ2rTPtY-6eRFceGzii_790TNcmaYjedVHL4ECghPKAjGXt0tLGJ1Z2CtLwD0qvenIQcm_u34nVq4Y3uZk6fs230g44BM0DdgyyDayi00/s1600-h/IMG_3646.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOQUo56IEAtkLB8cZxSgbcf3uHR9VmyDqwVcvQ2rTPtY-6eRFceGzii_790TNcmaYjedVHL4ECghPKAjGXt0tLGJ1Z2CtLwD0qvenIQcm_u34nVq4Y3uZk6fs230g44BM0DdgyyDayi00/s320/IMG_3646.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205680788822563954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf1jCTE2nVjCeuImRyumQa-DxR3m7bJr-VLC_VG6yeGUaMF-pOUIeQ1bfuNFGNyTfGZWd8K46SzAoxJZriGQfspAqiaiFa8GoNErSQ16Gq87ekgmTGqG6ZiYFhgv1TYYwzMo4WnyCdXs/s1600-h/IMG_3647.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf1jCTE2nVjCeuImRyumQa-DxR3m7bJr-VLC_VG6yeGUaMF-pOUIeQ1bfuNFGNyTfGZWd8K46SzAoxJZriGQfspAqiaiFa8GoNErSQ16Gq87ekgmTGqG6ZiYFhgv1TYYwzMo4WnyCdXs/s320/IMG_3647.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205680788822563970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSa-APgPw_lnfisScqr7gcT_jdwlhzcnQB2r6fwBJo49VsbK4untWA38Bb9H1GzTyUQ409a78yVd5nyY4lXEqYRJ2X7O-pbV8m92y6ZmGX30Prti6Az4Dv3FgeWdbTlqBr6o3E3Du13Lk/s1600-h/IMG_3649.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSa-APgPw_lnfisScqr7gcT_jdwlhzcnQB2r6fwBJo49VsbK4untWA38Bb9H1GzTyUQ409a78yVd5nyY4lXEqYRJ2X7O-pbV8m92y6ZmGX30Prti6Az4Dv3FgeWdbTlqBr6o3E3Du13Lk/s320/IMG_3649.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205680793117531282" /></a><br />Drew is really getting fun. He has is own little routine with everything and he makes sure that we keep it consistent. Today he started to giggle a little bit, we get so excited everytime he does something new. His favorite thing to do continues to be staring at his right hand. He makes a fist and then just stares at it, it is so funny:) It is a lot fun to take him out now, we have taken him to a few restaurants and Drew also went to his first movie! He loved watching the new Indiana Jones movie, we just had to keep his ears covered. On Friday Drew will have what will hopefully be his last visit other than check-ups to the hospital. He is finally getting his hernia repaired:) We get to stay with him over night and hopefully take him home on Saturday. He has overcome so much, hopefully this will be the last time he sees a hospital or doctors office for the rest of the summer.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-31326769575899170122008-05-19T21:30:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:40.413-08:006 Months Old!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7O6gYgHNDIjYQH69Rn3D-SPn_SNKwGihNmfO5o-4p3yoV7rIYZxIZiyEdtQPV7w9gM2d2cUhNY2Wep15a3NyV9WD9KkkYOgcl_t4yYXWgrXRyJDADkOeFz9PX6fmxE83Vdqx1M9yjdHw/s1600-h/IMG_3590.JPG"><img style="float:left;

He kind of takes up all of our time:) It has been so much fun to watch him grow these past few weeks. Last week Mommy got to celebrate her first Mother's Day as a new Mommy. It made Jenn feel a little old, but it was a very sweet day. Mommy got a card from Drew and she was surprised with some cute pictures of Drew that her parents had taken. Drew had his 6 month check-up with his pediatrician yesterday and he is doing awesome! Drew weighs 11 pound 11 ounces and he is over 22 inches long! That puts him around the bottom 2 percentile for a 6 month old baby, but for his adjusted age of 2 months old he is right in the middle average for weight and height. His pediatrician keeps saying that even though Drew will face some challenges, we couldn't have hoped for a better outcome! Today Drew went up to have a check-up on his eyes for the r.o.p.. His ophthalmologist said that his eyes have fully recovered from the laser treatment and that the r.o.p. is completely gone! Drew is at risk for some side affects from the treatment such as near sightedness, but it is amazing that they were able to efficiently treat him and save his vision. We feel very blessed for everything that he has been able to overcome, Drew has been through a lot and it looks like the most difficult challenges might be behind us. Drew will meet with his pediatric surgeon this week to decide what to do with his hernias and then hopefully we shouldn't have to take him for anymore check-ups or treatments for a couple of months. It is nice that the warm weather is finally here and that RSV season is over. We have had a lot of fun taking Drew to some low key restaurants and on walks to the park. Recently Drew has started to smile a lot:) It is incredible to watch him interact with us and smile. He has also found his right hand. He will make a fist with his right hand and just stare at it for while and then start sucking on it. We wish that we could know what he is thinking about, he is getting really curious and it is so funny to watch him bat at his toys and kick around. It is hard to believe that he is 6 months old, it is impossible to imagine life without our little Drew boy. We love him so much.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-87337664161233648952008-04-28T22:00:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:41.824-08:00Big Boy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKppHcZ2Bi0XTge6eSwUE8T42Tnz9ixRjJBLC0I2do2YErLTyBK2tMt33OpTP5cdyu3KBuyJugMtFl1ZDO38E9bZq5pW7eYX7ZGT4djLgAF4vKvyhO82z94rMa_5Pzn6SYBvOZ7kUcV-E/s1600-h/IMG_3353.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKppHcZ2Bi0XTge6eSwUE8T42Tnz9ixRjJBLC0I2do2YErLTyBK2tMt33OpTP5cdyu3KBuyJugMtFl1ZDO38E9bZq5pW7eYX7ZGT4djLgAF4vKvyhO82z94rMa_5Pzn6SYBvOZ7kUcV-E/s320/IMG_3353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541604392284514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPC_xgidWrGFKKOE7c0nA0sKfx5mDLZEoezozRlYwTeVi8uuHnSQ8h5GUxcmFnaMSUbCfcpC8QM8PzQ9qKSNe5ZC0n_nKNZ_7Np3B4bOYE5MblUEpVppHFN677_jpWzJ7OWTjqcbFOlU4/s1600-h/IMG_3352.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPC_xgidWrGFKKOE7c0nA0sKfx5mDLZEoezozRlYwTeVi8uuHnSQ8h5GUxcmFnaMSUbCfcpC8QM8PzQ9qKSNe5ZC0n_nKNZ_7Np3B4bOYE5MblUEpVppHFN677_jpWzJ7OWTjqcbFOlU4/s320/IMG_3352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541608687251826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_OnKUpNUuiY39B9PTymvKkb3hY35S2PEYyMUL41SCqWpK5tOKbxVKRdEki6Gstg8kr752yHY10Xt2BbRaP6tsWbjKtBcuu780pLomjWaLBnBRXF32Ocm9sXvIlKCU1qJoTT-jsZUNoI/s1600-h/IMG_3362.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_OnKUpNUuiY39B9PTymvKkb3hY35S2PEYyMUL41SCqWpK5tOKbxVKRdEki6Gstg8kr752yHY10Xt2BbRaP6tsWbjKtBcuu780pLomjWaLBnBRXF32Ocm9sXvIlKCU1qJoTT-jsZUNoI/s320/IMG_3362.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541286564704530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwppnxk_m5UlUv0HgqX6ozf9jUfuxKzWCR0g70C9rDVJV8Bsg9EH9Xhop6UysItjMpAiMDpXQYZn0Crl3nRtclsaFQiMtcdwu8sAatQ7kHP4IBQgDFWrIJ4524lZDhOx-Dzk8an5BYnJ0/s1600-h/IMG_3359.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwppnxk_m5UlUv0HgqX6ozf9jUfuxKzWCR0g70C9rDVJV8Bsg9EH9Xhop6UysItjMpAiMDpXQYZn0Crl3nRtclsaFQiMtcdwu8sAatQ7kHP4IBQgDFWrIJ4524lZDhOx-Dzk8an5BYnJ0/s320/IMG_3359.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541290859671842" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBl2mHzF5o9ArIDDFYfdy8BvrkL8G7uGLSi47p6HXYIp_hrbr2O6qeiSaJS-i0i2rO3jNTngiFsG4GZZ527a3WCn0RLynJkQ54CA5jRhyAs4yq3FmipQW6c3pYKNSCctvDq2oUDlFEi0/s1600-h/IMG_3357.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBl2mHzF5o9ArIDDFYfdy8BvrkL8G7uGLSi47p6HXYIp_hrbr2O6qeiSaJS-i0i2rO3jNTngiFsG4GZZ527a3WCn0RLynJkQ54CA5jRhyAs4yq3FmipQW6c3pYKNSCctvDq2oUDlFEi0/s320/IMG_3357.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541295154639154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCz1MnEC05RYGO8CpxHloLOHgJRf1ieYzwZKlQQRulIdyOBVRs4lFJqs0KjjaGTBpG4w0PylFF30bKvEaE7GZSjTPYKQRm6JZsUw8c40h5lYFiTQuN9emRUCIZAOP2mPnhVdW-Giv0SzM/s1600-h/IMG_3356.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCz1MnEC05RYGO8CpxHloLOHgJRf1ieYzwZKlQQRulIdyOBVRs4lFJqs0KjjaGTBpG4w0PylFF30bKvEaE7GZSjTPYKQRm6JZsUw8c40h5lYFiTQuN9emRUCIZAOP2mPnhVdW-Giv0SzM/s320/IMG_3356.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541295154639170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoz85tU7VpcXwUOs3-o7tvO8ntuScd4voS8-VWm4MRgSqhlnX0cOCYjKB1F26NMptCWxZAEwRtnzInNaNciQz8C6YoG0am-bTR2DKTPs_1Fpmi6WcaRsIJzSjqqwhb8d2BP75e79fE8-8/s1600-h/IMG_3355.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoz85tU7VpcXwUOs3-o7tvO8ntuScd4voS8-VWm4MRgSqhlnX0cOCYjKB1F26NMptCWxZAEwRtnzInNaNciQz8C6YoG0am-bTR2DKTPs_1Fpmi6WcaRsIJzSjqqwhb8d2BP75e79fE8-8/s320/IMG_3355.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194541299449606482" /></a><br />One week ago Drew weighed 10 pounds! He is growing so fast, we could never have imagined that he would do so well. It seems like it was such a long time ago that Drew was in the hospital, almost like a dream. We are excited for it to start warming up so that Drew can go outside, and visit his nurses! We are fortunate that he hasn't gotten sick or had any problems since he left the hospital. His eyes are doing really well and the doctor is confident that they will fully heal and mature well. Drew will probably have his hernia operation soon and then hopefully the rest of this year will be pretty uneventful. Drew loves to throw his little fits if he is being ignored or doesn't want his diaper changed, but he quickly calms with some attention and his binky:) We love him so much, and we are cherishing every second with him.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-47074368534552205412008-04-11T20:50:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:42.362-08:00Almost Nine Pounds!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEico7ROLdhV4eqQY-SmwWlPlxKcTVFW2sjYitjhHKRmNV5px5-TyULwmH9n-hiDp7sPK_MMs1HJLj86U-a9zM_mlVRjr0spqhBHJMbFUfBXW-u68JW6vSbsglOYIfjr02wGIIf62nCDqjs/s1600-h/IMG_3150.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEico7ROLdhV4eqQY-SmwWlPlxKcTVFW2sjYitjhHKRmNV5px5-TyULwmH9n-hiDp7sPK_MMs1HJLj86U-a9zM_mlVRjr0spqhBHJMbFUfBXW-u68JW6vSbsglOYIfjr02wGIIf62nCDqjs/s320/IMG_3150.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188213987172768450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJzH_MIpjbidEMcRajEe6O-mLaYIUQxjftqN-SgjXPriva7flN2b5ikptwE-BRfBWcedX6EuG1E6rz_voQfACkLBy_rE_2_TaH6t47urr9mUpWajSfDJqYxanfXOXoC1TGhUwLdtFTsw/s1600-h/IMG_3148.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJzH_MIpjbidEMcRajEe6O-mLaYIUQxjftqN-SgjXPriva7flN2b5ikptwE-BRfBWcedX6EuG1E6rz_voQfACkLBy_rE_2_TaH6t47urr9mUpWajSfDJqYxanfXOXoC1TGhUwLdtFTsw/s320/IMG_3148.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188213987172768466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAf9elCDm5KPXoBjOzlE3iWd8ycFPHSVJdmzm8kNpCqOJN8NHcHxMV_PVA3aXBxzRmV2O47Pzyqp2Oq45RXiirBJEw4DM1qoWqJFn7QWWAvP1T-069rH9HKOLzaKL9zo4CWwgHB9hqXrU/s1600-h/IMG_3149.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAf9elCDm5KPXoBjOzlE3iWd8ycFPHSVJdmzm8kNpCqOJN8NHcHxMV_PVA3aXBxzRmV2O47Pzyqp2Oq45RXiirBJEw4DM1qoWqJFn7QWWAvP1T-069rH9HKOLzaKL9zo4CWwgHB9hqXrU/s320/IMG_3149.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188213991467735778" /></a><br />Drew weighs a whopping 8 pounds 15 ounces now! It is hard to remember how small he was just a month ago. Since coming home Drew has gained 2 pounds 9 ounces, he weighs 40% more than he did four weeks ago! He has also gained an attitude:) He knows that all he has to do is let out a little whimper and someone will rush over to pick him up and entertain him. Drew loves his little stuffed animals (an elephant and his bear), he loves his bottle, binky, swing, mobile, mirror, boppy pillow, car seat, and he loves to be on his tummy. Pretty much Drew loves everything except for sleeping in his crib or getting his diaper changed. We love everything about our little guy, he is so much fun!Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-33358032216243924142008-04-03T22:36:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:42.768-08:00Three Weeks Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2bOX0z_uiCrS1AvHcSW7aQm_j6Y_pldsWzVlYF-t_pFfH-q8kqU6Z3UXZcH58B76fd2J-O_Xfm3PS78VawyRmALVaVkx2OQ4i5aQlg2oiypYf6MGiorzI_z8l_zViCYnT2pwykfbyBv8/s1600-h/IMG_3070.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2bOX0z_uiCrS1AvHcSW7aQm_j6Y_pldsWzVlYF-t_pFfH-q8kqU6Z3UXZcH58B76fd2J-O_Xfm3PS78VawyRmALVaVkx2OQ4i5aQlg2oiypYf6MGiorzI_z8l_zViCYnT2pwykfbyBv8/s320/IMG_3070.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185277798972610722" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4EVPWbwR8ZY93KmsbSJEAMrwtJgyTpbOhmVqmJbE5x5tfc7v2dlh6AvAuO020fXw8TJXr-3VCoqRA0-TACUcKLW2RbXa9ciQ9f0-Md5seg462OpX0wiFQGiHjUZgiFz9Z4XEBFm_TBg/s1600-h/IMG_3069.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4EVPWbwR8ZY93KmsbSJEAMrwtJgyTpbOhmVqmJbE5x5tfc7v2dlh6AvAuO020fXw8TJXr-3VCoqRA0-TACUcKLW2RbXa9ciQ9f0-Md5seg462OpX0wiFQGiHjUZgiFz9Z4XEBFm_TBg/s320/IMG_3069.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185277807562545330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbE6D0gx9JfC7agtQG_tVfj48i893S5r9DyD5V66g5L3JEFINGk7TNosVIn4e9xLlDBsip_FU8z3bjNZWERL7L_HvPNo5ZpItiK5oI1t6FB1kXejUKG4qBC9GuhlYDFQ2ithph9_IaJE/s1600-h/IMG_2809.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbE6D0gx9JfC7agtQG_tVfj48i893S5r9DyD5V66g5L3JEFINGk7TNosVIn4e9xLlDBsip_FU8z3bjNZWERL7L_HvPNo5ZpItiK5oI1t6FB1kXejUKG4qBC9GuhlYDFQ2ithph9_IaJE/s320/IMG_2809.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185277807562545346" /></a><br />Drew has been home for three weeks and he is doing great! He is still pretty much in control of his own schedule and we love tending to his every need:) Last week Drew had his eye check up and it went really well. His right eye has completely recovered and his left eye is looking good but hasn't fully matured. Drew has another check-up in two weeks to see how his left eye is doing. We just keep praying that he will not have any major long term difficulties with his vision, so far Drew has been very fortunate. Drew has been working really hard on keeping his head up. He loves laying on his tummy and doing his push ups. He also love his swing and loves to be held almost every minute he is awake, which we love too. He has brought us so much joy, we still get excited to feed him and bathe him and play with him as if it was our first day at home with him. He has given us a more meaningful purpose to our lives and we look forward to watching him grow.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-4591844453693639002008-03-21T23:51:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:43.543-08:00Getting Big<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9-XHjDACgsaH6YxXfJC7YRB_amkEoMF-Dt54nqG5vjAd4jgrzEx9_2SH7EDYkyNbeGUmQe44o_FQy4NG7gAsYmt1fjfCPYZFe5EWgAywrOVjnIy05zgd0xPh5UdDRjtb3fi8iTpBf2I/s1600-h/IMG_2732.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9-XHjDACgsaH6YxXfJC7YRB_amkEoMF-Dt54nqG5vjAd4jgrzEx9_2SH7EDYkyNbeGUmQe44o_FQy4NG7gAsYmt1fjfCPYZFe5EWgAywrOVjnIy05zgd0xPh5UdDRjtb3fi8iTpBf2I/s320/IMG_2732.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180457608715917394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmubvA2RVit8O2DLVjYZo4kmy0LpHLkddOcqefVIYYZ69IWxx3Zp7dQWyI8LZAKyaW3gu9MFJqgnNV024Z3896QzGdQTZHMlsyuPcOai86h-9dmlj4CzqttXUDkJIqVAmL5ZibUOqvQXA/s1600-h/IMG_2762.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmubvA2RVit8O2DLVjYZo4kmy0LpHLkddOcqefVIYYZ69IWxx3Zp7dQWyI8LZAKyaW3gu9MFJqgnNV024Z3896QzGdQTZHMlsyuPcOai86h-9dmlj4CzqttXUDkJIqVAmL5ZibUOqvQXA/s320/IMG_2762.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180457613010884706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcHwtq5SRAai85N-BZ4X7jPEhU-wShb18hYJwN2eeJX8ngLB_9TkuE8uKTg7whEp0NyT99a7Yb0-igFXjWwyOKv4Pr5rOzQJ8BOtZaOiLPhSbB9TeJQ-gIaTIuO_BnLSMxqG66Q4VdkY/s1600-h/IMG_2763.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcHwtq5SRAai85N-BZ4X7jPEhU-wShb18hYJwN2eeJX8ngLB_9TkuE8uKTg7whEp0NyT99a7Yb0-igFXjWwyOKv4Pr5rOzQJ8BOtZaOiLPhSbB9TeJQ-gIaTIuO_BnLSMxqG66Q4VdkY/s320/IMG_2763.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180457613010884722" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuLTfxYvy7MjFaGjxUsC52qdhsDX5QQdu6oGvw1qSjK_HhZV4ksXUJwTDnLF3vDyfpuUG1bqWRDZn5tIj7NoKtO2WNVLDHDx-8-M7d1_wAZzvbmZJlafw5EQvrqX_uyd9Ohs0JqccBseI/s1600-h/IMG_2764.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuLTfxYvy7MjFaGjxUsC52qdhsDX5QQdu6oGvw1qSjK_HhZV4ksXUJwTDnLF3vDyfpuUG1bqWRDZn5tIj7NoKtO2WNVLDHDx-8-M7d1_wAZzvbmZJlafw5EQvrqX_uyd9Ohs0JqccBseI/s320/IMG_2764.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180457617305852034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Rx1TougpIZO4NvgVStb8dBzhs5t2awFv1aNpKNg7P7wbTAqvXQlcBXg4xNa1wdqtVyMiyHtq1-w6OzzSNoYe8jgqEZHG0ql8yYa1pbBY7gZCRrtiF-Y4hklJatNZ2hVXiy8eghm3onA/s1600-h/IMG_2765.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Rx1TougpIZO4NvgVStb8dBzhs5t2awFv1aNpKNg7P7wbTAqvXQlcBXg4xNa1wdqtVyMiyHtq1-w6OzzSNoYe8jgqEZHG0ql8yYa1pbBY7gZCRrtiF-Y4hklJatNZ2hVXiy8eghm3onA/s320/IMG_2765.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180457617305852050" /></a><br />Drew has been home for more than a week and he is doing awesome! Today Drew had his second check-up with his pediatrician. Drew's doctor said that Drew is doing as good as anyone could hope for a baby born at his gestation. He is gaining weight pretty quickly now. He came home weighing around 6 pounds 7 ounces and now he weighs 7 pounds 5 ounces. Drew is loving his new home, but he still requires us to follow the schedule that he was on at the NICU:) Drew also misses his nurses and we are looking forward to seeing them soon so that they can see how big he is getting. Drew has an eye check-up scheduled next week, we are praying hard that the ROP has subsided. It has been a lot of fun to spend so much time with him, better than we could have ever imagined.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-55930063453342803232008-03-13T20:51:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:44.501-08:00Home Sweet Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFqTK5Hw11Os4g9Zk70xELPt98iUQsItb_xZjsQMmosyfKhAuMrt2gEk5fIp1D2rZ9Y9TG2IHIIeXWlw-45zCGlL8qJlGswvbP1OtS-NLTiv_l_J44hFnVGTRe0mPig7KlulpAm5Bzoo/s1600-h/IMG_2506.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFqTK5Hw11Os4g9Zk70xELPt98iUQsItb_xZjsQMmosyfKhAuMrt2gEk5fIp1D2rZ9Y9TG2IHIIeXWlw-45zCGlL8qJlGswvbP1OtS-NLTiv_l_J44hFnVGTRe0mPig7KlulpAm5Bzoo/s320/IMG_2506.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503228885354962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4wfN_E4x-gtHXGPC-4Y6A5gLfUFRmRroAoziw4GPOyeYjIv-EkYhTuvfJrgD6dSZwcSeswBKzr9Dprn44UwYra7welig2R_J8mZ5Hkb0H8753H2sO6Hlq6nhQdA7mA0LGT1t6ehxG-E/s1600-h/IMG_2507.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4wfN_E4x-gtHXGPC-4Y6A5gLfUFRmRroAoziw4GPOyeYjIv-EkYhTuvfJrgD6dSZwcSeswBKzr9Dprn44UwYra7welig2R_J8mZ5Hkb0H8753H2sO6Hlq6nhQdA7mA0LGT1t6ehxG-E/s320/IMG_2507.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503241770256866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO64w2-_5C91YtuOy7xLmObjcqLzDcsXcR4LuUk3lZFiJHUxaAgSvxd2YAVceZ0O32uqHnXyLRnOQ5yuABzxrFm3fHThPWhJSn6ykzVhdSqnGikfzUJm9tnkNKsrqumIoJMXA-Zvhd2zg/s1600-h/IMG_2512.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO64w2-_5C91YtuOy7xLmObjcqLzDcsXcR4LuUk3lZFiJHUxaAgSvxd2YAVceZ0O32uqHnXyLRnOQ5yuABzxrFm3fHThPWhJSn6ykzVhdSqnGikfzUJm9tnkNKsrqumIoJMXA-Zvhd2zg/s320/IMG_2512.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503241770256882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_rfXxXWwNASPCXZSjb5rz2M3wN_DmkqbGwL2bNijlEsEdTV4_W8jXSHBresOH6p2UOoIPPgEIFSaK3V0UgVIHZQH590_mG_P9avbSiptSTMNZhoHZVx6JXBejzvLa1r4hrltr25mF28/s1600-h/IMG_2514.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_rfXxXWwNASPCXZSjb5rz2M3wN_DmkqbGwL2bNijlEsEdTV4_W8jXSHBresOH6p2UOoIPPgEIFSaK3V0UgVIHZQH590_mG_P9avbSiptSTMNZhoHZVx6JXBejzvLa1r4hrltr25mF28/s320/IMG_2514.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503246065224194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjueUjDyAQtjVNyQkWcvnjhsEuLX4VQP3uCBWC7yIauZJ9jIph4V2yp8Z7PhCzsIpDQMyJgkgY2fUnAWap1XX6iatv-0S5ZB2jTfd6nlz80qyDnJRKaWDnVO8QBqjMOJshvRUT4wO2l5l4/s1600-h/IMG_2515.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjueUjDyAQtjVNyQkWcvnjhsEuLX4VQP3uCBWC7yIauZJ9jIph4V2yp8Z7PhCzsIpDQMyJgkgY2fUnAWap1XX6iatv-0S5ZB2jTfd6nlz80qyDnJRKaWDnVO8QBqjMOJshvRUT4wO2l5l4/s320/IMG_2515.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503246065224210" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7iiqALsfZD_qsjSb_dpDatIEdwrLfTRLrYGd08YfcHQhw03wkgsSZpvVfBh7A1KtCYaEs5wxPDlrNCcGIuCTTDZl_MRTP7i1P9LABMy8pHX0K81Ogj4HJYHnQilTeyPa1uH5UrzNqH8/s1600-h/IMG_2516.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7iiqALsfZD_qsjSb_dpDatIEdwrLfTRLrYGd08YfcHQhw03wkgsSZpvVfBh7A1KtCYaEs5wxPDlrNCcGIuCTTDZl_MRTP7i1P9LABMy8pHX0K81Ogj4HJYHnQilTeyPa1uH5UrzNqH8/s320/IMG_2516.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503709921692194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5LuBJL9PvRDfCvGz21vETcfAbM2wGCMM02ui0fnb1ZP0Opdz4otKVmS_6CK9WzLeOnlM3YNjcYNCFk58xxWIgD2IUuDa4ABBV6yUtKNqLEnMn-xT_lVhMRQiegianzY8K7ux6mNc8vKM/s1600-h/IMG_2517.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5LuBJL9PvRDfCvGz21vETcfAbM2wGCMM02ui0fnb1ZP0Opdz4otKVmS_6CK9WzLeOnlM3YNjcYNCFk58xxWIgD2IUuDa4ABBV6yUtKNqLEnMn-xT_lVhMRQiegianzY8K7ux6mNc8vKM/s320/IMG_2517.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177503714216659506" /></a><br />There aren't words to describe what we have experienced today. The emotions were much stronger than either one of us anticipated. It was extremely difficult to say goodbye to our wonderful nurses. They have given us the greatest gift and we have become very close to them. It is impossible for us to express the gratitude and appreciation that we have for every nurse, doctor and specialist that cared for Drew. Our primary nurses especially devoted so much time and love to give Drew the best possible chance at life, we already miss our nurses and we will always cherish the time that we were able to share with them. At the hospital there is a long hall that leads to the NICU which we have walked countless times. After Daddy saw Drew for the first time he walked out of the NICU and sat down on the bench in that hall and cried for twenty minutes. Early on in Drew's life each time we walked down that hall on our way to visit Drew we never knew what to expect or what new challenges we might learn of upon entering the NICU. After our visits with Drew we would walk together just Mommy and Daddy every night 119 times down that hall leaving Drew behind and we would wonder when and if our little boy would ever leave the hospital with us. As we walked out of the NICU doors and into that hall with Drew it hit us that we were really taking our little miracle home. We felt nervous and excited but mostly amazed at what had taken place at the NICU during the past four months. No matter how many times we talked about Drew coming home it never quite seemed real until that moment when we were walking out with him. We weren't prepared for the range of emotions that came upon us, it was almost bitter sweet. Drew slept in the car all the way home, but the second we pulled into the garage and stopped the car he woke up and Mommy and Daddy just smiled. We showed Drew around the house and most importantly we gave him a tour of his new room. He has seemed a little surprised and out of his environment but as each minute passes he is getting more and more comfortable with his new place. Drew has made sure that we keep the same schedule that he was on at the NICU. He starts getting fussy about every three hours and then demandingly cries for his bottle:) We love our new life with Drew at home, our house now has bottles and diapers and baby stuff everywhere. This is one of the greatest days of our marriage. This experience has been a roller coaster of emotions and a great builder of our faith, we have developed a great appreciation for life and for the miracles that God grants his children. It is hard to imagine how we were able to get through the difficult days during Drew's stay at the NICU (fortunately most of the days were good days). We have spent a lot of time looking at pictures and remembering how little and fragile he was. As we reflect on this experience we have come to the conclusion that nobody could endure such an experience alone. We felt uplifted by each other, our family, nurses and friends. We felt strengthened by God and we believe that he placed wonderful people at our sides to carry us through these four months. God sends his children to help one another and to carry each other through trials. We hope to become the type of people some day that God can send to help one of his children in need. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your love and prayers, and thank you to the IMC NICU for the miracle of life.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-8773724633310239052008-03-13T09:59:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:44.967-08:00Coming Home!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZn-yJrI4qTTbtGMgXxObgZIDv_HPP15bfWqNxz2WsmiLLKDuoAjY22WVVy6pwm306SZEmw7NML5Ag6qGWUqQ2ddAHoCnvW1BlASdQtu2WqelaaLA9Kjsz7eMMEEyNTwhiGEmtoAXSak/s1600-h/IMG_2361.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZn-yJrI4qTTbtGMgXxObgZIDv_HPP15bfWqNxz2WsmiLLKDuoAjY22WVVy6pwm306SZEmw7NML5Ag6qGWUqQ2ddAHoCnvW1BlASdQtu2WqelaaLA9Kjsz7eMMEEyNTwhiGEmtoAXSak/s320/IMG_2361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177275587028732322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZzeag-056qW06rL8sz2OOmJSBePJjz-lkmDAPDuBAEXPj-iPEGHZrcZW_rZ_ZPe0m8ZUwitsIXw2ytx34j5HVpuM_OTWSYev-zMC7fdjnDKAinck6-LmzG2ckImuTEnwGyHqk_xbmn0/s1600-h/IMG_2362.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYZzeag-056qW06rL8sz2OOmJSBePJjz-lkmDAPDuBAEXPj-iPEGHZrcZW_rZ_ZPe0m8ZUwitsIXw2ytx34j5HVpuM_OTWSYev-zMC7fdjnDKAinck6-LmzG2ckImuTEnwGyHqk_xbmn0/s320/IMG_2362.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177275595618666930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjxvAWUKEjwg-8q3foJgTWAKxcRe_MGhu9Q20gzG3sbuKxTaRVH3UW2Rxrl8Ptjx6o2bmKB-sZun2DqesyBEQvhNrPL9pYyf58Tvzh26gDegsYIba4hZYxY49u2EexlWR-gyhfE9YXJQ/s1600-h/IMG_2363.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjxvAWUKEjwg-8q3foJgTWAKxcRe_MGhu9Q20gzG3sbuKxTaRVH3UW2Rxrl8Ptjx6o2bmKB-sZun2DqesyBEQvhNrPL9pYyf58Tvzh26gDegsYIba4hZYxY49u2EexlWR-gyhfE9YXJQ/s320/IMG_2363.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177275604208601538" /></a><br />Drew is coming home today!!! He has been off of oxygen now for almost three days. Last night Drew had to pass his car seat test which required him to sit in his car seat for an hour and a half without any heart or breathing problems. He did pretty good, he just got a little bored then fussy and then he went to sleep. We spent last night with drew in our own little hotel type room without any monitors. It was wonderful to spend all night with our son, Daddy got a little sleep but Mommy stayed awake for most of the night keeping watch and cuddling with our little guy:) We are excited to become real parents, this has been an incredible experience. We cannot express our gratitude enough to God and to those who cared for Drew, what a miracle he is.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-16195043838793144022008-03-10T23:43:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:08:45.658-08:00No Oxygen!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTiF9VBL9AwWCLaIugSNlTBnIT4P1H-YykzsArl1LbFPXEkEEnJY58m3HWT6_dyDfJZkdYfGWXO9h4fnHXelTqOA3AClhH6-ECAobMXjdTZ_X2u9Mt2KynMG6NJTMHbTuQ28-KQk2D9Y/s1600-h/IMG_2300.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTiF9VBL9AwWCLaIugSNlTBnIT4P1H-YykzsArl1LbFPXEkEEnJY58m3HWT6_dyDfJZkdYfGWXO9h4fnHXelTqOA3AClhH6-ECAobMXjdTZ_X2u9Mt2KynMG6NJTMHbTuQ28-KQk2D9Y/s320/IMG_2300.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176382517299005778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4-CV5za_S4Jg-2K4RLblegyQM-NWABiV487QlNqJTsTGLPZwhPCPR5ibOOlQ5oi_HTQk0By5iVA0WUeMNycjkwnQ0K5BErJc9IDhSEgfa-jokck7NEid_NmfnBzWFm5oHFO7zmScIW4/s1600-h/IMG_2302.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4-CV5za_S4Jg-2K4RLblegyQM-NWABiV487QlNqJTsTGLPZwhPCPR5ibOOlQ5oi_HTQk0By5iVA0WUeMNycjkwnQ0K5BErJc9IDhSEgfa-jokck7NEid_NmfnBzWFm5oHFO7zmScIW4/s320/IMG_2302.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176382525888940386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJTH-Z5X82KvUQ768YcJS9FazN79xH5A2X4lAclgNqqVRu2QN9tmTru6lT3bSb3mI-VKs7Ppi5n2jp2-HQc51fFxbPRZzHOY4VQZyxPrRV-Rs2M1Oy8hivDcjhHccEI5xiNSegg9UdwU/s1600-h/IMG_2301.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJTH-Z5X82KvUQ768YcJS9FazN79xH5A2X4lAclgNqqVRu2QN9tmTru6lT3bSb3mI-VKs7Ppi5n2jp2-HQc51fFxbPRZzHOY4VQZyxPrRV-Rs2M1Oy8hivDcjhHccEI5xiNSegg9UdwU/s320/IMG_2301.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176382534478874994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQZ1TMrA6R3w48oCO7W3f2x2sreW7W6gTZ8ADNjmgfuiFw7XMqYNAJTEXsOMF9Rfw6t4MT68COpsa_OWnkqMUtBCk1976voEeTNu_6XRrB1HrEICNwtLRPeT_i0SIz0cxCApJkBV0wkQ/s1600-h/IMG_2304.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQZ1TMrA6R3w48oCO7W3f2x2sreW7W6gTZ8ADNjmgfuiFw7XMqYNAJTEXsOMF9Rfw6t4MT68COpsa_OWnkqMUtBCk1976voEeTNu_6XRrB1HrEICNwtLRPeT_i0SIz0cxCApJkBV0wkQ/s320/IMG_2304.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176382538773842306" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcJSUzGo_OXHjuFrdJf1sEtARdy3Hvaw9MfWjxrgLd3nQqlTqVb_Et-TWfRcbCAAjA1Swh4NoqbjR5vm3d2it2k5QRJDKqUeGw2baOIps_oDnUMZjLqXclwf8FRpllhgGI_cS74Eln3A/s1600-h/IMG_2303.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcJSUzGo_OXHjuFrdJf1sEtARdy3Hvaw9MfWjxrgLd3nQqlTqVb_Et-TWfRcbCAAjA1Swh4NoqbjR5vm3d2it2k5QRJDKqUeGw2baOIps_oDnUMZjLqXclwf8FRpllhgGI_cS74Eln3A/s320/IMG_2303.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176382538773842322" /></a><br />Drew is getting so big! Drew now weighs about five pounds 12 ounces and he is getting some pretty chubby cheeks. He took a huge step today, Drew was off of oxygen when we walked into the NICU today around 3:oo pm and he was still off of oxygen when we left at 10:00 pm!! We were so excited for him, he looks so grown up without his nasal cannula. We hope that he can last through the night without his oxygen but we are so proud of our little guy for how long he has lasted on his own, this was a nice surprise today. Drew usually likes to pull on his tubes and yank the prongs out of his nose and because he didn't have his nasal cannula in we had to find him a new toy to play with today. We went home and got him his Denver Bronco crib mobile. Drew spent about ten minutes staring at the little horses going around and then decided that it was time to try and grab them. He had so much fun reaching and hitting the horses and Drew would kind of get a proud look on his face each he was able to touch one. We are so amazed at how far he has come and we know that he still has some challenges ahead but we have been extremely blessed to watch his miraculous progress. Drew is so precious to us and we are privileged to be his parents.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-78744661719884630722008-03-08T01:14:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:46.213-08:00Patience<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZCk75PAMLuUkcY6M8bvrMTVrC1J1WkD4xPjnOeaOCWcZVXP2x3kr_HJYxG5rVhx7HjwKs0_koRloVoNIzq44NtGTQnOA98Wr1UrhB-8VjkV-bsOcbOocfAIoS1jGX4IOdF-pB9Uhv4c/s1600-h/IMG_2203.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZCk75PAMLuUkcY6M8bvrMTVrC1J1WkD4xPjnOeaOCWcZVXP2x3kr_HJYxG5rVhx7HjwKs0_koRloVoNIzq44NtGTQnOA98Wr1UrhB-8VjkV-bsOcbOocfAIoS1jGX4IOdF-pB9Uhv4c/s320/IMG_2203.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175302942909417746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SI7588wd0ECD0IkcUfiA7S3ICYQrwWP_iYn5WOIxgiGGwMeTOoHm3FEdOM6VvI2SWoqictLG33xKpZAJFuFFQ7Fjbc0Xd_6lgCGMtQAmlOuLLe3SdYPrFRIzhr0oed_AzzMN11_WrPc/s1600-h/IMG_2202.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6SI7588wd0ECD0IkcUfiA7S3ICYQrwWP_iYn5WOIxgiGGwMeTOoHm3FEdOM6VvI2SWoqictLG33xKpZAJFuFFQ7Fjbc0Xd_6lgCGMtQAmlOuLLe3SdYPrFRIzhr0oed_AzzMN11_WrPc/s320/IMG_2202.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175302951499352354" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3xO3Ks6o-egzGpCANZPSwmWecCZHqhqvNACt97nSD25rcgRjrGunP8G_HRQIOd2hSd6Qa-z3RFzAtdfoklq0GZ8DvA0zl7JHwDdsf51EAOUed3dKMfArH1bTT0ZiZmP9iy3qZnaU_Ow/s1600-h/IMG_2205.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3xO3Ks6o-egzGpCANZPSwmWecCZHqhqvNACt97nSD25rcgRjrGunP8G_HRQIOd2hSd6Qa-z3RFzAtdfoklq0GZ8DvA0zl7JHwDdsf51EAOUed3dKMfArH1bTT0ZiZmP9iy3qZnaU_Ow/s320/IMG_2205.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175302951499352370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFj18Urb-Fm-jz1cfqSk4APMwMc-rZPpDAKQbX3hln83QauTM_WpM8vLFS5xzlsFK38F_-Vq5wRg3KJpfSsmzmx42PPKMhwnfTMbCDgsFBGCX28eaH6tI0foUQPAaYTBJqfVL8596Mods/s1600-h/IMG_2201.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFj18Urb-Fm-jz1cfqSk4APMwMc-rZPpDAKQbX3hln83QauTM_WpM8vLFS5xzlsFK38F_-Vq5wRg3KJpfSsmzmx42PPKMhwnfTMbCDgsFBGCX28eaH6tI0foUQPAaYTBJqfVL8596Mods/s320/IMG_2201.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175302955794319682" /></a><br />Drew had his eye check-up on Wednesday and they are slowly continuing to get better. There are still some areas that need to mature before he can come home. Drew's doctors believe that it could take as little as one more week but as long as three more weeks until his eyes will be mature enough to come home. We appreciate the wonderful care that Drew is receiving, it has been absolutely miraculous what they have done for our son. We have been looking at a lot of pictures of Drew's first month of life and they almost seem unreal. It is hard to believe that our little boy who now weighs over five and half pounds was once only one pound four ounces! When we think of the countless hours dedicated by nurses and doctors and the number of people who have cared or prayed for Drew, we are extremely humbled and grateful. We try to spend as much time as possible with our son, it is so much fun to play with him and watch him in his swing. Drew loves to eat and play, he gets fussy when he is awake in his crib and demands to either be held or placed in his swing:) We love him so much.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-22422788203978959752008-02-27T23:26:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:46.495-08:00Getting Close<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoTDqPshEihH1urA1NmexY8JolvpzAZQtAlKiA8CEaFw71m29gxfFPzhdMKwMw8ttDED70yD3UDka_8-3vzmJsO9GbrP7EbvFi64VXiqqqd6wXGsFd7prgRk84RwY-hzwenDZWbmmGnc/s1600-h/IMG_2030.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoTDqPshEihH1urA1NmexY8JolvpzAZQtAlKiA8CEaFw71m29gxfFPzhdMKwMw8ttDED70yD3UDka_8-3vzmJsO9GbrP7EbvFi64VXiqqqd6wXGsFd7prgRk84RwY-hzwenDZWbmmGnc/s320/IMG_2030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171929874261095954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPlZcI1f-bAEJJL3SyetUelmYVd3iGipwFeXDwgoGNXkb6F73p-ERHi4mUfpNtTMYYOogtuJ_3aoQQ3I9vZ-FsQgmPnli58fHyJxSRCyjwFHW5abr3V2o2Vv9YRKXxRHpTNofKl4jPvso/s1600-h/IMG_2031.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPlZcI1f-bAEJJL3SyetUelmYVd3iGipwFeXDwgoGNXkb6F73p-ERHi4mUfpNtTMYYOogtuJ_3aoQQ3I9vZ-FsQgmPnli58fHyJxSRCyjwFHW5abr3V2o2Vv9YRKXxRHpTNofKl4jPvso/s320/IMG_2031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171929882851030562" /></a><br />We had to dress up Drew in his Jazz uniform for game day! He was wide awake when we got back to the hospital after the game. We like to think that he knows when we are coming:) Drew is doing so awesome with just about everything. He has become a fantastic little "big" eater. He gets a little mad after his feeding when the bottle is empty and we have to entertain him so that he will forget about his desires for more milk. Drew loves hanging out in his swing and in our arms, he is getting more and more bored with his crib and we just spoil him by picking him up every time he gets fussy. Drew's slow maturing eyes are pretty much the last challenge that he has to overcome before he can come home. Today his eye doctor decided that it would be best for Drew's eyes to have another week to mature before he can come home. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful doctors and nurses who work so hard to give Drew the best quality of life possible. It is miraculous what they do for these little babies, their love and care for our little boy will always be greatly appreciated. We are getting very excited and we can't believe that he could possibly be coming home next week! We are praying that his eyes will continue to get better and mature so that he can come home soon, but after all that Drew has been through we consider ourselves extremely blessed that he has done so well and we will happily wait as long as needed. We love Drew, he continues to bring our family so much joy.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-84123021072477999032008-02-19T22:15:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:46.779-08:00Drew Says "GO JAZZ"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMxYCqczR0AuKbP65NFcbhxE9qYEB0wOSndCXkH5aNI83ysORRpH39kh4jEvHCrsm6eoy0E78YjL_v_pTYAx-wBKxa_ezSlOW1WbKcv176Bl6-_-KAlzosPlZR4XJYTOITYJgfMuDxzRM/s1600-h/IMG_1762.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMxYCqczR0AuKbP65NFcbhxE9qYEB0wOSndCXkH5aNI83ysORRpH39kh4jEvHCrsm6eoy0E78YjL_v_pTYAx-wBKxa_ezSlOW1WbKcv176Bl6-_-KAlzosPlZR4XJYTOITYJgfMuDxzRM/s320/IMG_1762.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168951185592301042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjOb7AiWrZOOaVG-UiNg2e25PR7lB19gIGjKeI2EWN_TK-LoD8U0mBhJuKWrkk6vOLZoLzgDsiEOs8lxkUOxUBsuTEh-KnH3tgqHKu8afLBapgC78G8fQJ7JqGEbhbAnhwV3dBvCiyrU/s1600-h/IMG_1763.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjOb7AiWrZOOaVG-UiNg2e25PR7lB19gIGjKeI2EWN_TK-LoD8U0mBhJuKWrkk6vOLZoLzgDsiEOs8lxkUOxUBsuTEh-KnH3tgqHKu8afLBapgC78G8fQJ7JqGEbhbAnhwV3dBvCiyrU/s320/IMG_1763.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168951198477202946" /></a><br />We had a pretty fun day today. One of Drew's nurses gave Drew a Utah Jazz outfit from build a bear! We dressed him up for good luck and so that he could feel like he was at the Jazz game with us tonight. Daddy took a ton of pictures and he was so proud of his little all star but if Drew wants to play ball he is gonna have to learn from Mommy:) Drew is doing really well and he is doing a great job with his feedings and seems to be making slow but steady progress with his lungs. He will have another checkup tomorrow with the eye doctor to determine whether or not Drew will need a follow up laser treatment. Depending on the status of his eyes tomorrow and if everything goes right, we think that Drew could possibly be home as soon as the beginning of next week! We are praying that his eyes will show some significant improvement, but we also know that we need to be patient and allow Drew to have the best opportunity to grow and mature even if it means that he will need to stay at the hospital for a little while longer. He is getting to be so much fun and we enjoy every second that we get to be with our son.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-62792968745193958182008-02-17T18:01:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:54.441-08:00Latest and Greatest<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEVSpm-7SQ0BshVyPwEknAmLi2Cq8FYDJ5ryKKmrIlEh5S4jUTSDyp3MEZglecxC39uEW12BylSQklonWl2XpWKqLRrpdjLNjWMiCHTmKdcTHqVB_OiNkoslyhQMAdAqX1iDoeTZks-4c/s1600-h/IMG_1662.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEVSpm-7SQ0BshVyPwEknAmLi2Cq8FYDJ5ryKKmrIlEh5S4jUTSDyp3MEZglecxC39uEW12BylSQklonWl2XpWKqLRrpdjLNjWMiCHTmKdcTHqVB_OiNkoslyhQMAdAqX1iDoeTZks-4c/s320/IMG_1662.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168137815378419922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioO0qgSGWc4Vi4Ez2-PjAQPzx-o3sJFqThZoWNXjUYDGy6tGuhcFQ1LWby8wOHYS-DVRjFMeU0lpAkVjLWXSqAuAQkdTljEUqamvYgQXDxYURMtd5DR7AChLRX9pMXvxHmSjD2filDE0c/s1600-h/IMG_1663.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioO0qgSGWc4Vi4Ez2-PjAQPzx-o3sJFqThZoWNXjUYDGy6tGuhcFQ1LWby8wOHYS-DVRjFMeU0lpAkVjLWXSqAuAQkdTljEUqamvYgQXDxYURMtd5DR7AChLRX9pMXvxHmSjD2filDE0c/s320/IMG_1663.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168137819673387234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6FTHjHiUBF69WbJzlR-n3YxnXiztVKWemHxzKoDFBnKif1ID9wxY4iJdjuXkIS2omnpSZeic6ssARnLhM5w2KF7NzCOSRacaRHA1Q9HsWJIpc1tZvbjHZ0E9gVsycTLMWKjl9F7lgYg/s1600-h/IMG_1583.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6FTHjHiUBF69WbJzlR-n3YxnXiztVKWemHxzKoDFBnKif1ID9wxY4iJdjuXkIS2omnpSZeic6ssARnLhM5w2KF7NzCOSRacaRHA1Q9HsWJIpc1tZvbjHZ0E9gVsycTLMWKjl9F7lgYg/s320/IMG_1583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168137823968354546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7sb6-DBgHbRvG2RxgdeRTW4L-E2682DTxcKejXMKuWw0LgvrN850JaF42kzGL0UIgc8O42eDCyxT6HwpexKBu9ITN-jXuYcrgkB72mqrLYcyVMogeO7oqfEgdDGk6DoJs3kS-TsCeYjM/s1600-h/IMG_1665.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7sb6-DBgHbRvG2RxgdeRTW4L-E2682DTxcKejXMKuWw0LgvrN850JaF42kzGL0UIgc8O42eDCyxT6HwpexKBu9ITN-jXuYcrgkB72mqrLYcyVMogeO7oqfEgdDGk6DoJs3kS-TsCeYjM/s320/IMG_1665.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168137828263321858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8hzaSTg4V9hekx-_X_zZH4lmOZ2dYNCOA883IiHGZxgJR7y2ufqGOwNOpXTJiyqWlO4QCQ_vVDQjj06ORVebzj-N-zTIgYSsWsErLXA0inLPtRtBIYftBm4XOqOfuErBCwpTMYMPgqE/s1600-h/IMG_1666.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8hzaSTg4V9hekx-_X_zZH4lmOZ2dYNCOA883IiHGZxgJR7y2ufqGOwNOpXTJiyqWlO4QCQ_vVDQjj06ORVebzj-N-zTIgYSsWsErLXA0inLPtRtBIYftBm4XOqOfuErBCwpTMYMPgqE/s320/IMG_1666.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168137828263321874" /></a><br />Drew is doing really well. We weren't able to take very many pictures this past week because Drew's eyes were pretty sensitive and his lights were dimmed most of the time. So the past couple of days we have had a lot of fun taking lots of pictures and playing with him in his swing! Drew loves hanging out in his little swing with the music playing. He is doing a great job with his feedings and takes all of his bottles. He no longer has the feeding tube, and we think that he is getting close to coming home! He just needs his eyes to mature a little more and a few other things need to improve but he is doing awesome. We have been extremely blessed. Drew is such a little miracle and a gift to us from God. We are so grateful for all of the love and support that our family has received. We are getting pretty excited, we love Drew so so so much.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-85520148072888511982008-02-10T23:49:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:54.733-08:00Back On Track<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s9ZPLHGDHLAzdIhbz35mNw9Pux1vHk-RrHvxY65InQPPNGNFpztLifWweW5sefcOWnPoGvYV95ZiM-K1Ap6VfaA79kjcHcqDeO6tZP5rzLOPAykWcULb8a4Gb-aqPEauUvJ64-MkFac/s1600-h/IMG_1313.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s9ZPLHGDHLAzdIhbz35mNw9Pux1vHk-RrHvxY65InQPPNGNFpztLifWweW5sefcOWnPoGvYV95ZiM-K1Ap6VfaA79kjcHcqDeO6tZP5rzLOPAykWcULb8a4Gb-aqPEauUvJ64-MkFac/s320/IMG_1313.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165620543636168882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW09prLkeSxQjAcamz6jSBvISSFe5RxhtMHTsv7LecEeCgclbl64mFeb78eSQzi3jFxBgw7BehxhpaoxT4hNheLLgXu9KzxqzBc4lQm2fsekQfw4LqsgQ6c54TEKTvryhfMqGUOaXo2I/s1600-h/IMG_1314.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW09prLkeSxQjAcamz6jSBvISSFe5RxhtMHTsv7LecEeCgclbl64mFeb78eSQzi3jFxBgw7BehxhpaoxT4hNheLLgXu9KzxqzBc4lQm2fsekQfw4LqsgQ6c54TEKTvryhfMqGUOaXo2I/s320/IMG_1314.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165620547931136194" /></a><br />Drew's laser therapy on Friday went very well. He had a pretty stressful day and had to go through a few changes that he didn't like at all. His feedings had to be stopped before the surgery and Drew had to be placed back on the ventilator because of the anesthetics that pretty much knocked him out. It was a long day for Drew and for us. Seeing him just lay there almost lifeless due to the anesthetics and back on the ventilator was a little hard for us. The laser therapy lasted around and hour and a half and the doctor told us that it went really well. We will learn more about the results from the treatment over the next couple of weeks. Drew took a while to wake up afterwards and he was pretty groggy when we left him for the night. When we came back on Saturday morning the nurse told us that Drew woke up around midnight and that he got frustrated with the endotracheal tube so he just pulled it out! Just like that he was off of the ventilator and back on the low flow nasal cannula! Drew makes us laugh, he is a determined little guy and there is no stopping him. Well last night Drew was back to normal and decided to take the entire bottle for the first time! He has taken whole bottles for nine out of the last eleven feeds!! It is hilarious to watch him wake up about fifteen minutes before feeding time and he starts screaming for his milk. We call Drew our little piggy because he kinda snorts when he first starts feeding and he goes crazy trying drink the whole thing at first. After about twenty minutes he finishes and usually falls asleep, but today he was wide awake for five hours and demanded that we hold the binky in his mouth and sing him songs. He pretty much is going to get his way with everything, we figure that he deserves whatever he wants:) Well if Drew keeps this up we are told that he will probably be home within the next few weeks and we will get to be real parents! That will be an awesome day, we are so blessed and we love our little guy so so much.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718661077703655283.post-69410807576616047332008-02-07T23:07:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:08:54.920-08:00Loves His Bottle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpcddeyA-971cTj8hyLcSWAQFcHGMOn2dpz_yJlegF-HfnKortxP3wm2_ExA9O6jv2hauUzcZ5GHJXyBEZWzuzrNxzS2iBq_nQSpgTaG3-6g6hkIB-yQMJbx4pdEKG-UKVs5t5Nzcn8k/s1600-h/IMG_1276.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpcddeyA-971cTj8hyLcSWAQFcHGMOn2dpz_yJlegF-HfnKortxP3wm2_ExA9O6jv2hauUzcZ5GHJXyBEZWzuzrNxzS2iBq_nQSpgTaG3-6g6hkIB-yQMJbx4pdEKG-UKVs5t5Nzcn8k/s320/IMG_1276.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164503180094804210" /></a><br />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.Eric, Jenn, and Drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13930434890645227963noreply@blogger.com4
