Are You Serious?

Have you ever in your entire life seen something so freaking cute? Seriously though!? He is the most awesome little boy ever! His hair was pretty dark the first couple days, but now almost a week old, his hair is beginning to get lighter and is almost going blonde on us.

Well after 11 total hospital days and nights Brandi was released. Her blood pressure is still a bit high, but we have her on some medication to regulate it and hopefully in the next few weeks it'll go down for good. We wanted nothing more in the world than to take our little guy home with us, but he still has some growing and developing to do. So we'll be pretty much living at the hospital until we can take him home.

So far this has been a really rough trail and at times it seems overwhelming. He's going to have some good days and some bad days, but we have a good feeling everything will work out. We both have been amazed to hear how many people are praying and fasting for our little family. This is very humbling and it has brought tears to our eyes on several different occasions. We would like to thank everyone for the prayers and fasting. Please continue to help us ask the Lord for His blessings.

Dylan's vital organs look great and slowly but surely he continues to progress. We both have already been able to change his diaper and we've been trying to get him to take his tiny little binki. He also loves to grab onto his mommy's finger

Here is a quick update on his progress
-blood gases and sugars look good
-O2 and CO2 levels are bouncing around a bit, but it's normal for a pre-term baby
-he's having a hard time processing the little food we're giving him. This is also very normal due to the fact that we're asking the stomach and intestines to begin functioning when they weren’t ready to start for another 2 months.
-they have been keeping a close eye on brain and heart functions and anatomy and so far both look great.
-he's on some antibiotics to prevent him from getting infections.
