Moving Along

The good thing about this week, thus far, is that things seem to be getting better and better. According to Liam's doctor he is progressing right on schedule and doing really well. Liam's numbers were good enough the day before to start weening him off of the Morphine, which is fantastic. Over night though his numbers fluctuated between good and bad, so the doctors put him on another drug that is non-habit forming (non-addictive), which means weening him will not be a problem later, and he seemed to do better after the first dose.

Liam continued today in his progress of eating as well! He really seems to be getting the hang of it! We are so happy about this! He ate over half of his noon ration through the bottle for me today, 37 ml! His ration is 70 ml. So I was rather ecstatic and on the verge of tears, who knew I'd be so happy to see my baby eat. He is also spending more time awake and still sleeping rather soundly despite the weening, which we are so thankful for. He does seem to stay up right after his 6 o'clock feeding till his 9 o'clock feeding, which hurts his scores. Nevertheless, Keith and I agree this is just when he is most awake, otherwise he goes right to sleep, so we are not very concerned about this.

We feel so blessed to have all of you following our story and so thankful for all the prayers that have been going out for little Liam. I know his progress and every blessing has truly been through the power of prayer. We just ask that you continue to pray and ask God to heal him of this so we can get home and back to our families and friends that are  truly anxious to meet Liam. We just want our little boy to be strong and healthy, he has such a strong support system already, I know he is meant to have a great life ahead of him. Please keep praying and lifting him up in prayer. Thank you all for everything!!!
