Fun Stuff

(Original appeared April 16, 2016)

After such a bummer of an entry last time, I wanted to share a fun moment. Deb got to “feed” Jacob some milk using a swab. He really likes that, we figure, because he latches on to that swab for all its worth. Then when the swab is removed, he continues to lick his lips. It’s such a neat moment for many reasons. We are glad has has that reflex already, and that he and Deb are able to bond a bit.
The doctor continues to check for the heart murmur and has not heard it for the second day in a row. We are hopeful that the heart PDA is sealing up so that we have one less worry on our plate.
This afternoon he’ll get another blood transfusion to help replenish the blood that is drawn for routine tests. He got a favorable bounce after the last transfusion and we expect that today as well.
Deb and I got to enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine today and hope you all did too. This day was given to us, and we will still be thankful for it.
