Another Good Day

Reece has been blessed with another good day today. The surgeons came around and informed us that he no longer needs to be on his anti-biotics. The stoma nurse came in this morning to help give him a new bag. She also put a bag on his mucus fibula and umbilical cord in hopes to dry out the cord, but keep the mucus fibula safe. Reece was awake several times today and slept for a while as well. When he's awake he so wants to eat food (but can't eat yet) or he wants to be burped or have his diaper changed. Fortunately, the surgeons said he'll be able to eat on Thursday! YEAH for Reece! It won't be a lot of food and it will probably not be absorbed very well, but at least it will help Reece feel like he's getting something. Please pray for Thursday. Pray that he'll be able to suck on the bottle well and swallow. Pray that he'll find contentment in this up and coming food. Also, thank God for his continued healing power and his love for our son. We are so thankful for all of you. And, we want to say thanks to Aunt Greta for coming to visit and bringing her famous bread. The grandma's and grandpa's took the "second shift" tonight and held Reece for a while after his care. We love how much time they spend with him too. Family is a gift we treasure. We hope you enjoy your family tonight as well.
