Eventful Day & Counting Down

Benjamin is now 4lbs! He is still around 16 1/4" long. He has recovered well from his eye surgery and we are getting ready for the next big surgery day...Thursday. Since he prolapsed more over the weekend and again some today, it is a really good thing that it is only 3 days away. Please continue to join us in prayer that he will be healthy and strong going into the surgery and that everything will go smoothly without complication, and that God will protect the prolapsed part of his intestines until he can get into surgery.

Today was a fairly eventful day for Benjamin - in a good way mostly. First thing this morning he had his first try at a bouncy chair, which he seemed to enjoy. Then since he was on room level oxygen and did so well on his CPAP check in the morning, he was moved to a nasal cannula, which is less breathing assistance. Shortly after that he enjoyed another bath with real baby shampoo this time! In the afternoon he spent some time being held by Daddy.

Here are some pictures from today:
