WOW! Its hard to believe that we are still here! If you had told me when Andrew was born that we would still be here after 2 months, I would have had a hard time believeing you! But thanks to the many, many prayers that have been prayed on our behalf and the grace of God, we have made it this far and are still continueing on! Andrew is growing an now weighs close to 6 pounds! He has been put back on the demand scedule so he is eating about every 4 hours and takes up to 75 mls! No wonder he is growing! His throwing up is kind off and on, still no reason as to why, and the nurses are saying it is probably something that he just needs to grow out of.
He is doing very good with his breathing, it has been 6 days since he came off of the caffine and he is doing great! He is going to have the sleep test done this week to see if there is anything wrong with his breathing that they can fix or if he just needs more time to grow.
Andrew is also having another test done of his kindneys in the 7th, there is still fluid in or on them (Im not sure where it is) :) so now they are going to take an xray with dye to see if they can find some answers, please pray for wisdom and that everything will be ok!
Other than that there are not really any changes, he is still nursing and getting better at it, and he really is getting bigger, Josh and I measured him and we think he is between 16 and 17 inches, so he has grown 1 or 2 inches since he was born!
Thankyou once again for your continued prayers! We so appreciate them! May God bless each of you! And all the best in 2010!

I don't know how you do it... Bria had kidney issues from birth, and had that dye test. The test itself was fine... but all the poking to get the IV in was awful. And I'm sure you've seen a billion times more than I have. Hang in there. He's doing so well! And soon you will be home, and your little family will finally have a chance to really get to know each other.
Thank you for your encouragement Stacey! It so helps to know that there are people that know you can do it. Thanks again!
