Maybe???

Let me start this post by saying that Jake is packing on the pounds. When we went to visit on Friday, he had gained 3oz overnight. Abby NEVER did that! She always gained an ounce or half and ounce, and she's still not up to what the average 2 and a half year old is even though she eats like a teenage boy.

Jake weighed 4lbs 11oz yesterday, down an ounce from Friday.

We were greatly encouraged yesterday because Jake took his entire bottle. We're praying fervently that he'll do the same thing today, and they'll move him up to 2 bottles a day.

On a side note, let me request prayer for another family here. In NICU 2, babies share rooms. Jake's first roommate went home earlier this week, and a set of triplets moved into the suite with him. There is one baby in the room with Jake and then the other two are in the room that adjoins his. It is essentially one big room with 4 babies in it.

Please pray for these triplets. They are all girls and were born at 29 weeks, each weighing about 2lbs. The baby in the room with Jake is doing the best; although, she still has some problems. The mother and father look very young, but they seem to be doing okay.

We'll see what today holds, and I'll be sure to let you know.
