We get to hold him a few times a day now! Sunday was his first cry, first hiccups, first eye contact. Out also since the last post came his other line out of his bellybutton that gave him his fats and baby gatorade. He still needs quite a bit of pressure pushed into his lungs (2L), but it is near room oxygen level, he's at 24%. He needs to learn to tolerate enough milk each feeding, (takes a while to get your stomach up to speed with your caloric needs when you didn't use it for a week) and learn how to really suck a bottle, then begins nursing. We haven't been told a timeline of when we might go home (they stopped predicting speed with him =) If we were to guess it would be this following Monday. It is such a blessing to use the phrase "when we get home..." it means that this portion of the trial is almost over! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your prayers, God has truly worked a miracle!

I'm in tears!!! So happy that Jamin is getting better! PTL!
Praying that Jamin will learn everything he needs to in record time. "Home" is a beautiful word. I love the picture with his eyes wide open. Such a darling.
Mandy is sitting here singing at the top of her lungs to "Held." It is so cute. "Baby" is inserted for most of the words.
Oh my goodness, he's sooo cute! It's so wonderful to see a picture with his eyes open so big! What an incredible miracle that little guy is.
By the way, my pastor prayed for Jamin and you guys during our service Sunday morning and several others at my church have been praying as well. Just thought you'd want to know. =)
So excited to hear he is doing so well. The pictures bring tears of joy. And boy does he look like his brothers already!
