March 28th - Day 13

This has thus far been the easiest week with Omari. He is now 2 weeks old and is simply a joy to have around. He's become more active this week. Crying randomly throughout the day, pulling his breathing tube out of his nose, and sucking his BINKY! Yes.... I said binky. Besides his regular feeding schedule, the nurses and Terri knows exactly when he is hungry. If you watch him he will start to suck on his feeding tube in his mouth. Once food goes through the feeding tube you'll see him doing a sucking reflex. Two words... TOO ADORABLE. They increased his milk dosage from 10mls every 3 hours to 12mls every 3 hours. The picture to the left is from Friday evening.

The doctors have said that he has passed the toughest time which was the first 7-10 days. I will be returning to work this Tuesday. I am dreading it, but will go with joy in my heart. Thank you for all the love and support, talk to you guys at church or the next post.

  3. It sounds like Omari is doing wonderful. I am so happy for your family. Before long he will be home if he keeps this eating schedule going good. I would love to come visit Mr. Omari once our schedules around here slow down. Keeping you all in our prayers.
