Some would call it a setback,

we call it a miracle...

Tennyson as you may know from yesterday's blog was taken off his oxygen much earlier than expected with the caution he may have to go back on it. He was without oxygen from 8:30 to 3:15 yesterday but then they returned the cannula to his nose. The respiratory therapist said he wasn't desatting however was hovering around the low level of where they want him to be. Seven hours though, that's a tremendous blessing that was so unexpected.

Needless to say however he was exhausted from all the hard work the rest of the day. At 5pm during our non-nutrative he was unable to keep his eyes open so we wrapped him in blankets, gave him his pacifier (they're trying to get him to take it during all feeding to associate sucking with food) and I rocked him for the hour. It was a slice of Heaven I'm sure...I decided today when I'm able to hold him, those are the moments made for worshipping, there is nothing greater.

During his 8pm feeding while Travis was at praise team practice, I was able to give him a bath and weigh him all by myself (with no nurses assistance) which was frightening and wonderful at the same time. Jenny said they're going to try and let us start doing as much as we can so we'll be prepared when we go home. It was also rather convenient that we bathe him on the scale as he's so little there's no where else really to bathe him well. Anyways after the bath and him smelling so wonderful (thank you Johnson & Johnson), I was able again to swaddle and rock him before Travis' kangaroo time.

Around 9:30 I headed back to Ronald McDonald and got things ready for this morning and headed to bed. Travis got back around 10 and headed to the hospital for 'daddy time' while I caught some shut eye. He got back around 12:30 as I was finishing my pumping so we visited for a bit and he said Tenny was a bit squirmy at first however did wonderful through the hour once he found a comfortable position. That was a great time for them... Mr. Josh if you're reading this know that Travis tells Tennyson each evening about fishing so make sure that boats ready when he's able to go out...maybe in a couple years right??

Also dad (like he reads these but mom pass the message along) they talk each evening about riding in the combine next year during harvest so be sure to save some combine time for the weekends...:)

Anyways he's weighing in at 4 lbs. 5.5 ounces (so he gained 2.1 ounces yesterday) and is just growing like a weed. A coworker Quiauna brought in her three month old baby, Gabriel today and boy Tennyson is still very little however looks so grown up to us.

Again and as always thanks and we're indebted to you for all the prayers, cards and thoughts of us. You don't know how much you mean and how influencial you are in his progress. Can't wait until next summer when we can show him off...

Love you all!

1 Chronicles 16:8-12 (The Message) Thanks again Hollie...
Thank God! Call out his Name!
Tell the whole world who he is and what he's done!
Sing to him! Play songs for him!
Broadcast all his wonders!
Revel in his holy Name, God-seekers, be jubilant!
Study God and his strength, seek his presence day and night;
Remember all the wonders he performed,
the miracles and judgments that came out of his mouth.
