5 Weeks Old!!!

Once again, I can't believe another week has gone by, and my what progress Pearson has made in the last week! He is still on CPAP but should come off tomorrow HOPEFULLY! You never know what Dr. Kays might do though! I'm sure all of you CDH moms who have used him know exactly what I'm talking about! Dr. Kays doesn't just go by the doctor rules, he can tell just by looking at the baby or even by the feeling he has as to what needs to happen. I think this is what makes him so amazing and special at what he does for these babies! Pearson is now getting 7ml of milk through the tube, but it is still bypassing his stomach so we still do not know how he's going to handle eating. I am thinking that sometime in the next week I will be able to start trying to nurse him and see how he tolerates it. I can't wait! I am looking forward to actually feeding him and not pumping 24/7!!! God has brought him this far, so I know he will continue to carry him the rest of the way!

Look for pics of Matt holding his beautiful son very soon!!!! We are hoping tomorrow might be his BIG day!!!

Love you all!!!

  4. What an AMAZING doctor you have for lil Pearson. What a God-send! I will pray for his continued concern and success in treating Pearson and others fighting like he is. I also pray nursing goes smoothly for you when you are able to try. I sure hated pumping and praise you for doing it so diligently. Thanks for the pics!
