Hurray!!! Benjamin had another follow up from his eye surgery today and his doctor said that everything looked good, the vessels are currently growing in the right direction and he won't need another exam for two weeks! This is such good news. Thank you Jesus! It doesn't mean that he won't have any vision issues, but he is headed in a good direction and will have sight.
Benjamin's digestive system is working good after the surgery. I changed my first stinky diaper yesterday morning. The nurses in the area cheered (not because of my extraordinary diaper changing talent, because it meant Benjamin's system was working :) ) Ahh, the little celebrations that make life wonderful...
Eating from a bottle is still a challenge for Benjamin. Sometimes he does great and other times he forgets to breath and has Bradys (where his heart rate drops). I know that it will be a long road ahead. I have heard nurses and parents say that they can stay in the NICU for weeks after everything else is fine just because they do not have feedings down.
Be sure to check out "Benjamin's Big Boy Stats" at the right to see how big our sweet little boy is.
Thank you for praying for Benjamin. God is good and faithful!
Yippee!!! Thats wonderful news!! Thank you Lord!
