Happy Friday! Thank you so much for the wonderful messages! Your words truly fuel us and we just can't thank everyone enough!
Kolton is much improved. He remains on the ventilator, but is off everything else. His feedings are back at 8ml per hour and he continues to gain weight. We are so close to 3lbs! His abdomen was very swollen today so the medical team did an ultrasound to check things out. Turns out - it's gas! So I guess we pray for Kolton to "cut the cheese". God certainly has a sense of humor. On a more serious note, of course, we need Kolton to continue to develop his brain center and lungs for breathing so he can get off the ventilator. He is such a strong little boy and we are so proud of him. I read him his first Curious George story yesterday to which he opened his eyes. :)
Much love-
Gretchen
