March 24th - Day 9



Over the last few days Omari has had a few issues.  They were concern with his blood cell counts. Therefore had to due another blood transfusion today, they say he will require more in the future. Everything is stable now, although his sodium level is a bit high. Terri was allowed to hold him yesterday for about 15 minutes. Simply stated, my wife fell in love with another man. Its okay though, because I fell in love as well. From the video and pics above, you can tell that he has gain a little weight. He has offically gained back the weight he lost after birth plus a little more. He is now 2.2 lbs as of 11pm tonite. They said some of the weight came from his blood transfusion. Praise God either way!

The doctors said that he is doing exceptionally well. He is surpassing there expectations. So lets be in prayer that God will continue to do so.

  2. Wow! You all don't know me at all, but I know Julie and so got the link to your blog. I'm proud to say that I'm the mommy of a "preemie" who is perfectly healthy and will be turning 3 years old in 2 weeks. KEEP LOOKING UP! Your help comes from the Lord! One of the things that has helped me over and over in our preemie journey is forcing myself to realize that my God loves my daughter even more than I do.

    Your blog is such a blessing to me, your words are inspiring and uplifting and I know God is using it. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

    I'm praying for all of you.
