Can you believe it...Pearson is 4 weeks old today! I certainly can't! It makes Matt and I so happy and grateful to look back on these last 4 weeks and think about how far we have come since March 15. Pearson has made and continues to make so much progress everyday! We are so thankful to God for the miracles and the strength he has given to Pearson. He amazes us everyday! Pearson had a very restful day after they were successful at getting his pic line in. They have already tried this once about a week and a half ago, but weren't successful. Since they were able to get the pic line in they took the line out of his neck and will hopefully take the one out of his belly button soon! They were also able to wean him more off of the ventilator, which means we are getting closer to holding our Sweet P! I see a very happy mommy and daddy holding their sweet angel very soon!
An update on Pearson's growth since he was born... He weighed 6.14lb and 20 1/2" when born and now he is 7.5lb (it's hard to get a real accurate weight because of the tubes and the type of bed he's on) and 21 1/2". He's a growing boy!!! Thank you Connie K. for asking me about this. I hadn't even thought to update you all on his growth!:)
Also, there was a baby next to Pearson who lost it's life tonight. Please pray and remember this family. It was very tough for Matt and I to see this, but it just made us that much more thankful for the miracles God has performed with Pearson.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say how happy we are to hear of Pearson's progress. He is one tough/strong cookie!!!! I can not believe how quickly a month (almost) had gone by. He will be home and spoiled in no time!!!
ReplyDeleteThe news of the other baby's passing is difficult to swallow. It brought tears to my eyes. I can't even imagine... It is even more proof that we all are here for a reason and have a purpose in life. I can't even imagine what great things are in store for your little Pearson! I am so lucky and honored to be a part of your lives. He is nothing short of an amazing miracle and i can't wait to see what type of a person he becomes. We are continuously thinking of you all and are always looking for updates to your blog. Can't wait to see the handsome fellow in person!
I look forward to reading your posts every day! It always brings tears to my eyes and chokes me up a little, but in such a good way!! I know from recent experience how special it is to hold your precious little one for the first time, and in your case, it will be that much sweeter! I know in my heart that it will not be much longer, he is such a fighter.
ReplyDeleteHe is growing so much! You won't realize how much he has grown until you see him beside a younger baby and say, "Was he ever really that small!" That's what I did with Ansley. We will have to get them together as soon as they are old enough to play together. :) She's going to have a lot of little boys to choose from between Pearson, Tritt Weaver and Bentley Mossinger. :) I continue to pray for all three of you daily! Go Pearson!!
