Exciting news!

Liz got to hold Carson for the first time today!!!

Carson was a little upset when they were moving him but as soon as Liz got him he settled right down. Preston was holding Kellen at the same time so they got their first family picture taken. And what a precious little family photo it is!

Carson is holding his own. He is on continuous feeds through his G-tube of 1 mL per hour. He has pooped twice which is an excellent sign that his GI system is working. Possibly the first time I have ever praised God for poop (particularly those who know my hospital stories understand how truly unusual this is for me...ha ha)! Carson is down on his ventilator to a respiratory rate of 30 and very little oxygen. We just have to keep praying for him to get off his ventilator so we can move forward on determining his function with swallowing.

Kellen is doing very well. He had some exciting news today too. He lost his umbilical cord and now has the most precious belly button. Hip hip hooray! He may be the second born but he beat Carson this time : )!

We hope you all will be blessed greatly this Thanksgiving!  We want you to know we are thankful for each and every one of you and your prayers for Preston, Liz, Carson, and Kellen. 


Have a wonderful time with family and friends tomorrow!
