Daddy and His Son

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I bring you good news! Pearson is OFF CPAP and on the oxygen nasal cannula's.  It's not the normal oxygen just yet.  It's a machine that is between CPAP and the regular oxygen, however it is just the small clear oxygen tubes, so it's not super uncomfortable for him.  He's doing so good! He's off of all his medicines, and the only thing he is getting through his PIC line is fluids for nutrients, but he will be done with these in a couple of days as well, which means he will not be getting anything except for food! We absolutely CANNOT believe how far he's come in such a short amount of time! We are super ecstatic about how great he is doing, and starting too really look forward to coming home! After we tackle the feeding issue of course though! I haven't tried nursing yet, but hopefully very soon!

Here are some pics I'm sure you all have been waiting for! Pearson and his daddy! Yesterday Matt was able to hold Pearson for the first time, since he was finally able to come off the CPAP!  It was the most special and sweetest thing seeing Matt hold Pearson for the first time! I can't tell you how much this meant to Matt to finally get to hold his beautiful (look alike) son! A dream come true might I say, and a moment we have been waiting for for sooo long! We truly feel like the most blessed parents in the world to have this amazing miracle for a child! GOD is so wonderful!!!! We thank Him everyday!!!

The tape you see on his cheek is holding his feeding tube in place, which goes down his nose.
