Reece is now up to 6 mls. per feeding. This is a good sign, but they continue to monitor his progress before they increase or decrease it any more. The surgeons came around today and told us what we already knew...about 4 more weeks until surgery at least. Reece slept most of the day, but has not been sleeping well at night. We joked with the nurses how we'd like this to be switched so that he's sleeping through the night before he's sent home. :-) They are fun to talk to and I appreciate their knoweledge as well as their kindness and sense of humor. It's been nice getting to know a few nurses who Reece has had already. They really make a difference! Reece had a special visit from his great grandparents today. What a joy it is to see Reece in the arms of his great grandma. We're glad they made it home safely from their time in sunny Florida.
Thanks for your prayers. Please say an extra thank you that his levels of food could increase! YEAH GOD!

Yeah to more food, blah to more time there. I thought for sure with the progress that he has made that he would be patched up soon and sent on his way for you both to deal with all night. :) Praying for continued strength and growth for Reece, and patience for you, BJ, and Ben as you await Reece's homecoming.

Continuing to pray for little Reece and your family. The hospital certainly is a place where there is much pain and suffering around us. It can also be a "mission field" where we try to show God's love to others and pray for them, as you have been doing.
