A Good Doctor's Report...

Yesterday I spoke with one of the neonatologists who does rounds at the hospital. He says in a word the boys are doing "Great!" We are looking at one to two more weeks in the hospital. Chris is "nippling" the best of the three (though he is the smallest at just a smidgen short of 4 pounds). They may remove his feeding tube today. He's supposed to be nippling all his meals now. Daniel is at 2 out of 3 meals by bottle (and weighs 4 lb 2 oz), and Nathan is at 1 out of 2 (weighing 4 lb even). All 3 boys are out of their isolettes now, and in open cribs.

Rebecca, Olivia and I worked in the nursery last night, and we could only imagine what it will eventually be like to have the privilege of caring for and loving your three sons! We're so thankful to read of all the ways the Lord is providing for you all. Love, Cheryl Layne
