Nathan was weighed today. He weighs 7lbs 5oz. We gave him a bath and Stephanie got to hold him for about an hour. He continues to be more alert especially while Stephanie held him.. His new tube has been great for his breathing. They continue to go down on his vent settings. His edema continues to decrease. Also, as you can see in some of the pictures, he is now sleeping swaddled and under a blanket. He was able to sleep for the first time yesterday without the bed warmer and he is maintaining his own temperature perfectly. Please continue to pray for his liver and kidneys to start fully functioning as well as his blood pressure to decrease.
Grandma (Steph's mom) came again this weekend to run errands and watch Jacen. Thank you! Pawpaw and Meme (Steph's dad and stepmom) came to see both boys on Saturday.

It brings smiles to our faces to see the two boys improving !! We pray that Nathan will soon join Jacen at home.
Poor little Nathan he doesn't know better, YET! But Granpa will help lead you away from "The Dark Side".

Whoop! Little Aggie. I am so glad to hear about Nathan's improvement. I personally love the sheets. Jacen's face in that picture is priceless. I continue to pray for all of you. Can't wait to meet the boys.

Continued prayers for you all, with a few extra strong ones for Nathan. No doubt that Nathan knows his moma! and Jacen has so much character already!
They are both so tiny and darling! We are glad they continue to improve and our prayers are with you, as always.
