First, Zach was moved from his isolette (incubator crib) to an open crib! This means that Zach's body is now capable of regulating a healthy temperature on its own. Also, he was taken off of all oxygen assistance... He is breathing entirely on his own now!! Zach has done so well with his feedings, he is now taking all of them by bottle! He has a little trouble from time to time with his breathing while he is taking a bottle but over all he has been very successful with all of these transitions.
Blair and Keri are able to hold Zach daily and feed him his bottle. He loves to be swaddled and cuddled by his mommy and daddy! Blair and Keri are really enjoying the opportunity to bond with their little man. Sydney LOVES her baby brother and gets to visit him daily. She is such a big helper... baths, diaper changes, temperature checks... She's willing to help with it all!
As always, Blair and Keri are beyond thankful for all of your prayers, messages, phone calls, and generous offers. They feel so blessed to have such a wonderful support system during this time in their lives and appreciate each and every one of you.
Prayer requests:
*Continued success with bottle feeding
*Eventual success with nursing
*Continued success with breathing
* Blair & Keri may have strength & courage to face each new day
