July 5, 2011


Today I had my own personal photographer with me (aka, Isaac), so I got some pictures of me and Aaron!

The big news today is that Aaron took four of his feedings in a row with a bottle! This is a big deal because bottle feeding is a lot of work for him! He also went from taking it in about 40 minutes to taking it in about 20-25 minutes. His nurse was very impressed!
He has also been more consistent in waking up when it's time for him to eat--another great sign! One problem Aaron had today was that he forgot to breathe for a moment; his alarms began ringing immediately. He quickly recovered, but this momma was scared! The nurse assured me that this happens often with preemies; it's just part of what Aaron needs to learn to do! Fortunately, this has not been an ongoing problem.

Isaac was so hyper today, so he lent his antics to the camera...and we certainly captured them!

We are praying that Aaron is able to come home soon, and in order to prepare for his arrival we bought Isaac new bedroom furniture. We got it all put together today, and he loves it!!!!

The doctor did tell me today that some test results had come back on Aaron's thyroid as well as his brain and enzymes; all of the results were good! Praise God! We continue to pray that further testing goes well!


We are focusing our prayers right now on the tests. We are also praying that Aaron continues improving in his eating and that he has no further episodes in which he forgets to breathe. We are praying for complete health and that Aaron is ready to come home soon!
