and many times I think he's doing the breathing for us.
Tennyson weighed in at 4lbs. 3.4 oz. last night so we gained another ounce and he had a great time kangarooing with daddy. He kept ripping his cannula out of his nose and putting it into his mouth so his nurse last night turned him down to 1.5 liters of flow.
He did great all night and got to see mom bright and early this morning and he sure was wide eyed at 5am I must say, he sure is precious...
When I went back at 11am his nurse, Ms. Harla, was so excited to let me know he was missing one of his buddies (that's what we call all his pumps, probes and tubes...so we're down to one)...anyways when Harla was receiving report from 7-8am and then got into assess him at 8 his cannula wasn't even in his nose so she thought he could do it on his own since he was satting 95-100 without it. So we are now breathing the same air as everyone else and so far we seem to be holding our own, though they left the cannula in his isolette and told us not to freak if he is put back on it at a low flow because this is quite a change for his little lungs.
His feedings were also increased to 37ML/HR and he seems to be handling those well. He and I kangarooed this morning for around 30-40 minutes which was great considering we didn't have the oxygen and we'd just been out and held from 5am to 6am.
We couldn't be more blessed with the progress he's made, we're continuing to pray for the development of some of his systems and for infection to stay at bay however the Lord has already done miraculous things in this little mans life that we couldn't have asked Him for anything more (though we will continue to do so).
Thanks to all of you who are praying for us and for Tennyson as we know he wouldn't be doing so well were you not interceding for us. We can't thank you enough for your time and your commitment to this little one. Know that you are as instrumental in how well he's doing and how well he will continue to do as we and the nurses are. Again our hearts are yours...
Exalting the Everlasting-
Travis, Lindsay and Tennyson Myers
P.S. I know there haven't been any pictures in a while but here are some and know we will download the cameras this weekend so there will be more I can assure you...

Tennyson, you are giving Granny the itch to play "this little piggie"! (SMILE) You are as beautiful in bright colors as you are in baby prints. It looks like you are securely "Resting in His Promises". Granny and Poppie are too! We are anxious to come see you this weekend! I can't believe we are down to the feeding tube only! Now Granny can really, really see that adorable little face!! Hugs and Kisses from me to you, Granny
Precious, Precious Pictures!!!
We are so happy to hear Tennyson is breathing on his own - that is big, really big!!! God is doing awesome work on your little boy. We love hearing all this good news. And even though He has proven himself time and time again we are continually finding ourselves amazed at the work God is doing. Praise Jesus!!!!!!
I gave the Lord a round of applause, as I do sometimes. I believe He is using the life of this precious one, as He has so many others, to display His power and love.
Oh Lindsay and Travis, he's so precious and beautiful!!! We're thinking and praying for you.
love, Mike and Becky
