Happy 1 Month!!!!

I have lots of exciting news!!!! Yesterday I was able to give Pearson his FIRST bath!!! It was so great to have that time with him! He liked it at first, but then I think he started getting cold so he was a little fussy! Today Pearson celebrated his one month birthday by coming off his ventilator!!!! He is doing so great! We couldn't be happier with his progress and can't think of a better way to celebrate his one month birthday. He is now on C-PAP, which he hates! It blows oxygen into his nose and it's uncomfortable so he's done alot of fussing today. I can't say I blame him one bit! One more thing I want to share....I FINALLY got to hold my precious baby!!!!! It was such a wonderful and emotional experience. I couldnt believe I was really getting to hold this amazing gift God gave to us. I will remember this day forever, and I cant wait for Matt to share the same experience. Unfortunately he didn't tolerate it as well as we had hoped so Matt didn't get to hold him. His stats dropped because he got so upset and it took a long time to get him calmed back down. The nurses had already told us that most babies fuss the majority of the time when they are on C-PAP. We decided it wasn't worth prolonging his progress to hold him so we are going to wait until he's more stable and off the C-PAP before we try to hold him again. We are just thankful that God has brought him this far! We owe Him all the praise and glory for allowing us this special day with our beautiful son! I will post pictures soon!

We want you all to know that we continue to feel all the love and support from back home. Everything you are doing to help us get through this whether it's financially, emotionally, or spiritually, we thank you from the bottom of our heart.
