Feed and Grow! That is Kolton's theme for the next few weeks. His levels remain stable, and now we just really need to feed him and let him grow. Once he reaches 4 - 5 lbs he will undergo his corrective heart surgery (ies). He presently weighs almost 2lbs. 10oz. Currently, his milk intake has been supplemented with a nutrient rich formula. It provides a lot of what he would be getting this trimester if I were still pregnant. He looks fantastic! And his super fantastic primary nurse Diana and he made me a birthday card! What a wonderful and perfect birthday surprise.
Other big news, Kyle held Kolton for the first time today! It was awesome, and Kolton had a sweet little grin on his face the whole time. We truly felt the hand of God as father and son started to bond for the first time. What a divine moment!
Also, thanks to the wonderful firm that I work for, Virchow, Krause & Co. LLP, I will not be going back to work until later in Feb. VK has won numerous awards for being a Great Place to Work, and their support of our family during this time is one of the many reasons why. I am truly proud to work for an organization comprised of individuals that put people first and live by their stated values of integrity, passion, and stewardship. The people at VK are truly exceptional, and despite our growing size it feels more like extended family during times like this than co-workers. Thank you VK!
