Today Carter is 8 weeks old. He is an amazing little boy who continues to show great strength and courage. Today we talked to Dr. Lugo and he says that tomorrow Catherine the Speech Therapist will start trying to bottle feed him. This is very exciting a huge step in his feeding process. In addition if he continues to do well with his breathing they may do a trial of taking off his nasal cannula to see how he does without any supplemental oxygen. We held him tonight for a couple hours and was quite comfortable, sleeping about the entire time. He seems to love his new room since it is very quiet. We also had our parent group meeting tonight and met many new parents. We heard a lot of remarkable stories and shared our own. This weekend we will be walking in the March of Dimes walk for babies at Lake Eola and are very excited to take part in something that does so much for all babies and children. As Carter's music box begins to play and Katie tucks him in for a restful night enjoy a couple pictures of our hero!
He looks so big! What a sweet little blessing and amazing testament to the power of prayer. Love reading these updates.
