We are an ounce shy of 2 lbs!

Solomon's eating 6 oz of milk every 3 hours now... poor Mommy is beginning to feel like a cow! :) He got his PAL line out today which is a tremendous relief to us all. It was a little late in coming out which means Kangaroo Care had to be put on hold. But we are back on track now. Yesterday, everyone was worried that our little man might have an infection, but so far, he's proven them wrong. He's still leaning on the vent quite a bit for breathing support, but this could be because the tube they have down his throat is no longer the right size given his fast growth. They will be fitting him for another tube in the coming week to see if that helps with his breathing. Solomon was wide awake for Mommy and Daddy today during touch time. He opens his eyes for us quite a bit now. I actually got a couple of pictures today of him with is eyes open, and hopefully they will come out well. As Solomon continues in the convalescent phase, please pray for him to show the strength to breath without the vent. It will be a long process, but he can do it.
Thanks for everything!
Love,Sami, Tracy and Solomon
