A thing of the past...

Preemie clothes that is. Tennyson is growing so quickly that we're outgrowing the preemie clothing. They have even discussed putting him in newborn sized diapers in the near future because he's so long and getting rather rotund.

So we will have a few (very few) days left that we're able to wear preemies and after that it's officially onto big boy clothes. Tennyson weighed in last night at 5 lbs. 5.7 ounces. He is doing better though there are still no answers at this time around why he's spitting up so much and why he's so cranky as he's not feeling well.

He is looking rather swollen as well but that's to be expected I guess, he's retaining water around his eyes and his feet so he will probably receive another lasik today.

He's keeping his sats rather high, since 7am has only had one episode and recovered himself though we're on 1 liter of oxygen at 21% so if he can maintain that the rest of the day this afternoon he may get moved down to 1/2 liter. His coloring this morning is better, he's looking less orange and splotchy so that's another plus.

There was discussion last night around trying to feed by bottle again today if he continues to improve though I haven't at this time heard a final decision around whether that will happen and if so when.

He is in a new outfit this morning from when we left last night as he had another bad vomitting bit last night and then this morning had two mouthfuls however I caught it during our non-nutrative time and so saved the outfit he's in now.

A praise in the midst of all these complications is that in the new big boy bed, he's able to maintain his temperature much better than most (I think he gets that hot-blooded nature from his daddy though I'm sure he's warm because God is holding him in His hands).

Please continue praying for his breathing, his digestion and infection to stay away...you know the same ole, same ole, things I ask prayer for each day and will probably continue to request until long after we're home.

I cannot thank each of you enough for taking this journey with us. I know it must be hard to remember and to follow our changes as we're in our sixth week here. I know I'm constantly asking for prayers for the same things over and over and that you're probably tired of hearing my belly achin' but thanks for staying with us. We know and I hope you know that he's only doing so well because you're lifting us up and interceding on our behalf. You don't know how much that means and how greatful we are for each of you.

Philippians 1: 3-6 (The Message)
Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God's Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

All our love and prayers.

Yearning for more of Yahweh-
