Day 21.. 3 weeks old
We are driving home from Columbus. Lincoln is doing well... we got to hear him cry.. it was adorable.. he hates when the nurse adjusts his cpap (nasal pressure thing). We held him all evening and he did great. Very responsive to lights, sounds, and Daddy's voice when he forgets to lower the volume.. (often! ha!). He was kicking and gripping onto his tubes. They said he was sucking on a pacifier earlier.. it is the funniest tiny little binky! He really looks and acts great.. next step is introducing the feedings again (which created the NEC problem, which created the brain bleeding, etc.. ) so we are holding our breath that this time it goes well.. it SHOULD but who knows! Monday seems to be our 'bad news day" so please pray that this Monday is a good one finally!

I am so glad to hear that he is doing better. You have all been in my prayers. God has big plans for that little guy. Hang in there. One day you will look back on these days and think, how did we make it through. But you will and you will be happy with the little man he has grown into. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. God bless you all.
