Precious

Today I got to hold my son and watch him sleep, feel his soft little cheeks against mine, and watch him smile so wide; it was so precious. I think today it fully sunk in that I am a Mom, that Liam is my son, and together with my wonderful Husband we are a family of three+ our puppy Katey. Its just as wonderful as I thought it would be and I am so thankful to have these two men in my life.

Liam is doing really well and seems to improve daily. I think we are over the hill and hopefully heading back to Ohio sometime in the next two weeks. It's been a long road and we still have quite a ways to go, but I think for Liam the hard part is over. He is still having difficulty with eating, I think he has grown use to the tube doing all the work, but I am convinced he will just figure it out. He ate one ounce just before we left this evening, and the rest the tubed in. He is doing well as far as his scoring is concerned, and did really well with the decreased frequency of the morphine. He is such a strong little guy already. He has quite an attitude too. He looks at me with such an attitude sometimes and his smile is priceless. I have also come to the conclusion that not only are we adopting our dear little son, but also pooping machine. This baby does nothing but poop and sleep. That's it. We changed 4 poopy diapers during our visit today and wow is all I will say.

I still love the little guy. He is going to have his grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles wrapped around his tiny fingers very quickly. He is so sweet and has such a wonderful little personality already. Keith & I really want to thank you all for praying for little Liam so much lately, and though he is doing well now, we ask you to keep praying for him to continue to improve and get over the hurdles that he continues to climb. We are both rather worried about his lack of consistent eating and we would really appreciate if you could all pray particularly for this. Thank you all so much!
