Cool Cam.

As Sullivan sweetly sleeps, Cam and I enjoy some mother/son time. Thank you, Cole (wink wink, Molly!), for our new hats!




































We had (yet another) doctor appointment today. I think it is important to share our updates so our friends/family can continue to rejoice in how healthy the boys are, and keep praying for continued health.....so, thanks for reading.

Sullivan weighs 5 lbs 15.6 oz (so close buddy!)

Cam weights 7 lbs 7 oz.

Sullivan needs continued prayer for his breathing. We believe he is improving, but it is still a struggle for him. His breathing continues to be more labored than it "should" be, and the doctors assure us that as he continues to grow this will enlarge his airways and his breathing will become easier. He seems to be eating a little better, but the "suck/swallow/breath" notion is a little tough for this little guy.

Additionally, his eyes are not completely done growing. He is considered to have "mild to moderate ROP". If this goes untreated, it could lead to bad things (retinal detachment). Our prayer is that not only does it not need to be treated, but that when we go back next week, he will have moved from a stage 1-2 to a stage 0....no treatment needed!
