Jeremy came back up on Saturday to be with us and he was able to hold Jase for the first time. He said he looked like a whole new baby. He didn't have nearly the tubes he had when Jeremy had left the week before. I am so glad he is back up here with us!
He now only has the feeding tube in his nose and they are gradually increasing his feedings everyday. Today they were able to give him his full feeds which means he is eating enough to sustain his weight and gain more. He also weighs 3 lbs 8 oz. The most he has ever weighed. He is doing great. We couldn't be more blessed with his progress and the way he is developing. The nurses and doctors continue to be amazed.
We had a very special visitor come right to the Riley's house. Santa visited the other night just in time for Kylie to give him any last requests. Too bad Kylie won't talk to Santa. Hopefully he received her e-mail Grandma Hansen helped her send. He was so excited for the candy cane she could hardly stand it.
On Sunday morning we took a little break and ran down to St.George for what was supposed to be one night. (We got snowed in and stayed in Cedar City at Grandma and Grandpa Felix's house on Monday night) Kylie had a chance to open presents from the Felix side.
She is pretty good at this opening presents thing.
She LOVES the chair grandma and grandpa gave her!
Life has been crazy, but I am grateful for everything I have and the things I am learning through this process. I have a wonderful family and a great support system and I couldn't do it without them.
