Things are still going well, although he's not gaining weight like we hoped. He's at 3 lbs, 7.2 ounces. At my last post on the 20th he was 3lbs, 6.8 ounces so you can see what I mean. He should be gaining several ounces each night on his current diet. Doc says he's burning tons of calories just breathing, pooping, crying, etc. His metabolizim is high and doc said probably will remain that way through out his life. He will probably always be a little guy especially since he was growth restricted in the womb. We are ok with that as we are a "tiny" family, including our dog...hee! hee! We just want to get home at this point. He's still struggling with eating. We are praying each night that we'll go in and see some progress. Over the past several days he hasn't made any so we are very hopeful that things will turn around soon. We were hoping he'd be coming home in the next few weeks, but it's looking like it will be longer at this point. As promised, I will get pics of him out on the blog soon.
Love,
J & A
