We are going back to Evergreen!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all of the thoughts and prayers over the last week.  Cole is making huge improvements and we are getting transferred back to Evergreen once a bed opens up.  It is crazy to look back on last Tuesday, thinking that we would never be able to bring Cole home, to now where he is getting kicked out of Children's Hospital because he doesn't need the level 4 care anymore.  We couldn't have gotten through this without all of your thoughts and prayers, we are forever great full. 

What has Cole been up to the last couple of days...
  • He no longer has an IV in his belly button to provide him extra nutrition, he is completely on formula and breast milk
  • He got his first bath (and was not very happy about it)
  • And best of all, daddy changed his first poopy diaper (with help from the nurse!)

Right now Cole is still working on digesting all of the extra food that he is getting, the formula is hard for preemies to digest and he has been throwing up a little and getting some acid reflex.  Please pray that my breast milk will come in soon so we can just be feeding him that. 

 
 
 
 

Thanks!

James, Michelle, Cole and Rudy

  1. All of the kids saw the pictures today and they all commented on how utterly adorable Cole is! They love him. Look at that blond hair!

    Try fenugreek and hominy for extra breast milk production - it helped me with Jackson ( my first baby)
    Cheers q
