more care

today was a pretty uneventful day. We are still waiting on one genetics test so please keep praying all will turn out well...though things are looking better everyday. Lane finally got back on full feeds this afternoon...he wasn't taking all of them since his surgery. Tomorrow we are gonna start working on the bottle, but the doctors warned me that he will most likely have problems with aspiration. They are also gonna start kangaroo care tomorrow. it is where i will hold him with skin to skin contact. this is to help my milk come in as i am going to try to breast feed. They are also gonna work on non-nutritive sucking. I had never heard of this but it teaches him to go to breast without feeding fully while trying to work out his sucking problems. Its amazing the things they do around here. Roger and I started doing Lanes catheter's today. I started the morning by doing it and it was so much easier than i had anticipated. Roger did his afternoon cath and did quite well. I hate that he has to be cathed every three hours but hopefully by the time we go home he wont need it or at least not as much. Well it is late and i need sleep. I will try to do better tomorrow on a more thorough update! :)

  2. You and Roger are doing an amazing job Dani. Always praying for you two and Lane. He is doing so well and with the care he is receiving he will continue to make great strides. There are so many people praying for Lane, that I know God is going to take care of all his needs. Stay strong!

    Love,
