April 16th - ONE MONTH OLD!!!






OMARI IS 1 MONTH OLD TODAY!!!

It has been 1 month already. Time has gone slow day by day, but once we reflect on those slow days they seem to have gone so fast. Omari is now 3lbs! We are really excited about it. The strange thing is that no matter how much people told us that things would be alright, there was always some thought that may have lead us to believe otherwise. Our absolute thanks goes out to everyone for there prayers and gifts. They were not over looked.

He still tends to forget to breath every so often. Maybe close to 12-16 times per day. Over the last day that has decreased drastically and they hope the trend will continue. His physical therapy still continues to do well and he is more feisty than ever. They increased his feedings to 25mls. They will take him out of the incubator within a few weeks. He will remain out as long as he can keep his own body temperature. The doctors say that he already does, but doing so causes him to burn energy that should be used to help him grow. So the longer they can manually keep him warm, he can put more energy towards growing.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW, he smiles at the end... TOO CUTE!
