Jonah update

Well...this is been a big week for our little family. Jonah was a week old yesterday. He is doing really great! He has been moved out of the isolette and into a crib the other day, which ment that we were able to hold our little guy for the very first time. It was the MOST AMAZING thing in my world. I would say that that was the best day of my life. I have never really understood unconditional love before that. Physically he is doing well...he got his IV out the other day because it "infiltrated" and they weren't able to use it anymore, so rather than start a new one they took the chance that he would tolerate going up on his feedings, and he has done pretty well with that. Being premature, he isn't able to eat it all through a bottle, he is too tired for that, so they have a NG tube (goes from his nose down into his tummy) and they give him whatever he doesn't eat through that so he gets all the nutrition he needs. He is still on some oxygen, but not nearly as much as he was before. So things are good, and we are on the mend. He might be able to go home next week hopefully. Sorry no pictures, but I am updating from the hospital...so when we get home from the hospital and are able to do more than just sleep there, we will get the pictures uploaded.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, and Jonah is looking forward to meeting you all!
Lots of Love,
Kelly, Dean, & Jonah
