I Promised Pictures





I promised some pictures, and I don't want to be called a liar...so here ya go. He is a super cute kid. Here's the latest:
We're still waiting on his respiratory rate to stabilize. Keep praying that it will settle below 70. You don't have to know what that means, just pray for it. He can't nurse until it drops and he can't go home until he begins to nurse well.
We were hoping to get "Boarding" status at the hospital. That would allow us to remain in our room but Kim not be a patient. It is a service Winter Park Hospital provides for free if space is available. Unfortunately, every pregnant woman in Central Florida decided to give birth and we've been bumped out. If space becomes available then we can move back in. This would be a really great thing because it keeps us close to Will.
On a positive note, though, the NICU is moving us into a private room. The accommodations are austere unless you're a preemie. We can't eat or drink in the room, but we can sleep there. And that is a blessing. As far as praying, you can pray that his breathing rate slows and we can get "Boarding" status at the hospital.

That is AMAZING that you can get boarding status at the hospital...that definitely wasn't an option for us, nor was a room where we could sleep with Jacob...the NICU was children only, and when he was there, 60+ patients...craziness! I'll be praying that you'll be able to stay with him & stay at the hospital...I know how hard the NICU is!
