Our little Man, the Fighter

Today, Louis turns two weeks old. The feeding tube is out, and he now referred to as a Feeder and Grower, which means he has to put on a certain amount of weight to leave the NICU. We have been told that it could be another two weeks to a month until he will come home with us. We can say with some assurance that he is doing well.
Our elder children have not yet been to visit him, but Conor refers to the picture on the frigo as "EEE-EE." My mother and Michael's father are staying with us, toting Dec and Carmen off to their various activities during the day, and being Conor's Personal Trainer, Canvas, Mary Poppins and Cook at the same time. I have been recovering at Lou's side, spending the days with my little man. Thank you for all your emails. Michael and I appreciate the support.

A birth announcement

Dear visitors. Most of you already know that Ashley went into hospital on 25th April. After our last pregnancy, we knew the chances of this happening again were high. We were reassured when we passed 28 weeks. Our child was growing well.
Our son was born by cesearean c-section on May 5th at 12:38am, weighing 3 pounds 9 oz, 16 inches which is a good weight for a 31 weeker preemie. He's in the NICU and doing well for his gestational age so far at this early stage. He is not requiring oxygen, and was breathing fine at birth with a strong cry. We do not know a lot at present. Ashley is recovering after the birth. She has not said much for the last week which is understandable. Papa and Lita arrived last week to be with the children. They have been such a huge help to our family.
. I thought i'd take this opportunity to let Ashley's family and friends know of the birth. We are hoping the Lord will continue to watch our son, whom we have named Louis.
