Bottle Time

An answer to our prayers! Sunday morning we went in and Liam had finally decided to eat from the bottle. I can honestly say that was something I was so worried about and I knew it was a gift from God, I had just asked you all to pray for Liam to please start eating on Friday! So Sunday morning we go in and Liam had ate 90 ml, 20 ml more than he was suppose to eat! I was so happy, I really had to restrain myself from jumping up and down. Then while we were feeding him he had the whole serving again. Over the last two days Liam has taken 90% of his formula from the bottle and they will probably take out the feeding tube tomorrow! 

Thank you all so much! We are really so happy and feel so blessed. Liam is doing very well, getting stronger, and we are starting to see his own little personality coming out each day. His scores have been ranging from 4-5 (a normal baby would range between 3 and 5), the doctor also lowered the frequency of his medicine to every 12 hours, which means that on Wednesday, if everything is good he could take all the medicine away and see how Liam does for another 48 hours. After 48 hours without a dose of medicine and with good numbers Liam will be released!!!

So naturally we are shooting for Friday to take him home from the hospital! We are so excited, yet guarded, and we just wanted to ask you all to continue to pray for little Liam for him to continue to get better and get out of the hospital by the weekend! We really can't wait to bring him home. I can't wait to hold him without worrying about ruining his scores or making him feel spoiled or asking to do this or that with my Son. Thank you all for your prayers and please continue on! Thank you!
