Breanna came up with this great idea for Easter. The onesies' feet kept flopping over the edge, even though his feet aren't in them yet.
For the past week we received daily assurances that “in the next few days” Jack will be taken out of his isolet and put in a crib. He meets the weight requirement for being in a crib (1500 grams), but his overall growth progress is slower than desired, so while the nurses would love to move him, the doctors have concerns about doing it too soon!
Today he is a whopping 3 pounds 13 ounces. His isolet setting has stayed on the lowest temperature and his feeding amount has been increased to “unlimited.”
He’s drinking well from the bottle, and spending a little more time awake, which works out great because he has also been receiving a lot of visitors.
My parents came by for a week, and last Thursday were able to hold him. Then last weekend Breanna’s mom and sister held him for the first time.
We continue to enjoy hearing from people everywhere who are concerned about his condition and assuring us they are praying. We are truly in good hands!
In a following post I will give a brief update on our plans.
Love this picture! We continue to pray for all of you.
