I can't begin to thank all of you for your prayers and support. Landon has been doing really well the past few days and I just want to rejoice in that for a few minutes. The odds are definitely stacked against our little man due to his size and how early he joined us here. God has been taking care of him thoroughly though, making him stronger and stronger by the day. We have some fantastic nurses and doctors looking after him and an insane amount of people praying for him. I am blow away by the amount of people asking about our little boy and offering up encouraging words to Jason and I. I just want everyone to know how much we appreciate it and hope that you continue to pray for our little man and get to witness how God is answering prayers.
Today we had another quiet day. I got to hang out with Landon this morning, I spent about 3 hours holding him and loved every minute of it. He had a good night and is still tolerating his feedings really well. He is a little pale so they are watching his red blood cell numbers, he may need another blood transfusion but that is pretty common for babies this tiny. We are hoping he wont need that, but I will keep you posted.
We got to do bath time again tonight, but this was the first time Jason got to be there for it. We had to turn on the bright overhead lights so Landon got to rock his "sunnies" again. I am 90% sure he likes wearing sunglasses...
His umbilical cord fell off today so if you look CLOSELY you can see Landon's tiny little belly button!
Wrapped up after bath time
Yup, that happened...
They gave him his tiny pacifier after bath time, he was very content!
Landon gained 30 grams tonight so after a few nights of losing weight we are back to gaining. He is currently up to 680 grams, 1lb. 8oz. We are hoping that now that his food is being upped and calories are added he will start to gain weight like a crazy man! Please keep praying for our little boy and we will keep you posted on his progress.
Much Love.
Jason and Kristin
