Sorry about not updating sooner, our family was out on the weekend. But we are still in the city and as of right now it looks like we will be here for awhile. Andrew went back on the CPAP on Friday and he is still on it, his breathing is fine as long as he keeps the prongs in his nose. Because this is kind of hard to do they have been giving him sedation once every 12 hours or so, just to keep him more settled and so that he sleeps more peacfully. We are really praying that he will be able to go back to the nasal prongs soon, and that once he does improve that he will not go backwards again.
Andy has been growing though, you can see and feel that he his getting a tiny bit bigger. He now weighs 1582 grams which is about 3 lbs 7 ozs. He gets 29 mls of milk now and as he gains weight he will be getting more.
So thats where we are right now, we are praying to be home for Christmas, but most of all we are praying for God's will to be done, we know that He is in charge and we want to do our best to live out his will. Thankyou all for your continued prayers!!

Thanks for all the updates. I have been keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers daily. After out third child was born she was sent to Children's Hospital for a couple of nights. It was so scary . I know you guys have been there a long time but it is a great place to be when your baby needs some extra tender loving care. Andrew looks great and you can see that he is growing from the pictures you have posted. Praying for God's loving care one day at a time. Sincerely Linda Falk
I can already see a difference in his little cheeks!! God is good and he will take care of all the things that need done for little Andy!! We will pray for his breathing I know that can be tough, we had ups and downs with the twins too. We will pray you will get that Christmas gift of going home!! God is able!
