Good News...

When the Doctor said, "feed him like crazy", that's exactly what I did and WOW did it pay off!! At Lil' squishy faces weight check this afternoon, he weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz!!!!! I couldn't believe it, the nurse was shocked, and the Doctor said "this made my day!" He not only got back to his birth weight...he passed it by 9 ounces. Absolutely NO reason for a hospital stay now. As the Doctor walked out she said, "you must have had the right prayers being said." I know our family said many prayers out loud and silently, and to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers...thank-you!!!! I appreciate you all sooo much!

My little Ashie is feeling much better, and my baby boy is getting even squishier! I'm feeling extremely grateful this evening...and a lot less anxious, so much so that I took a very nice nap this afternoon...a little bit of some much needed rest! Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday night!!

YAY!!! He is just too sweet. I know how you feel to some extent...I am trying sooooo hard to get my 2 year old to gain weight and it's near impossible. Kid refuses to eat. :(

Hooray for Squishy! I'm so glad and I know how relieved you must be. (One of mine was in the NICU for 9 days and it was a little bit of hell on earth.) We'll keep praying that he continues to put on weight. (And that you get to rest.)
