We are all smiles these days!

I just wanted to share some cute pics we've gotten in the last week or so, and also let you know about Pearson's progress! You will see that our little guy is smiling all the time now! I can't get enough of it! About his progress... He is recovering well from his surgery! They started giving him milk through the g-tube yesterday and he's tolerating it well. Today he was able to try a bottle but had no interest what so ever. I've been told that they do much better with oral feeds once they get home in a more comfortable environment, so we aren't stressing over it at this point. He is not on the regular oxygen just yet, but will hopefully be on it soon. He will need to be doing good on the regular oxygen and tolerating his feeds well before he's ready to go home. The plan is still for us to be able to leave sometime late next week!!!!! We are getting SO excited! Thinking about getting to share him with all of you brings tears to my eyes. This is a time we have waited for for so long and on some days weren't sure if we'd ever make it this far. We praise God for everyday he gives us with this special gift we call Pearson. He truly is a miracle and no matter how long we have to spend in this hospital, it's worth every second we have with him!

We want to thank you once again for the love and support we can feel from all of you back home and even those of you who we've met along the way! We have received so many cards, gifts, yummy treats, visits and sweet thoughts from a lot of you and we want you to know how much it all means to us...even just knowing that you care enough to want to follow our blog means the world. You really help make a difference in our lives everyday and we love and thank you for it!
