| Lucas came home from the hospital today!
| | |
| Lucas started getting very small quantaties of milk pumped into his stomach on Wednesday. So now we are back on the rollercoaster ride of one day doing good, the next day throwing up, etc. Today he didn't have any milk during the day, because he was recovering from a bad day yesterday. He was going to start on the milk again at 7:00 this evening, so tomorrow I will see how he tolerated it. Please pray that his intestines will kick in and start digesting the milk! | | |
| Lucas moved to the "Nutrition Room" this afternoon. Basically the goal there is to make sure he doesn't lose weight, and that he starts to gain weight when they start feeding him milk. The doctors still haven't given me any idea about when they will start the milk, but I hope for some more information tomorrow. Lucas continues to be his smiling, little self! | | |
| Today Lucas was doing much better. He even gave me a half-smile and talked with me a little. I am very happy! Also while I was there he had a dirty diaper... I never thought I would be so happy to see a dirty diaper! I had to go home early today becuase they were working on the plumbing and cut off the water in the hospital. I was a little disappointed, but it gives me a chance to spend some time with Nate. Here he is playing with all his cars...
And here in Lucas before he went in to the hospital...

| Friday morning, Lucas was still sleeping a lot and just waking up to cry a few minutes before sleeping again. But at the end of the day, he woke up and I played with him for about 20 minutes before he started fussing and wanted his pacifier. Then Manuel came in and I had to leave. Manuel talked with the doctor, and he said that Lucas is stable, but it would probably be 5 days before Lucas can start eating. Patience!!! | | |
