Say "Cheese"!

Today was a good day. We learned that the results for his brain scan came out negative. YAY! We were so thrilled when his nurse shared the information with us. Jacob is a fighter. He's so strong and he reminds us of the many blessings that our Heavenly Father has in store for us. He is amazing and we can't be more proud of his strength and endurance. He has taught us so much already. We can't wait to spend many many many more days with him!

Today, I didn't get to kangaroo with Jacob because his temperature was low. I didn't mind much b/c I wanted him to keep warm in his isolette. Instead, Jeremiah and I sat and adored him from a distance. We watched his every move. Earlier in the day, the nurse said he was quite active as he was awake for about an hour! We saw a glimpse of that this evening. It's always so much fun to watch him. We can do it forever.

Overnight, Jacob lost an ounce in weight. The nurse said it's pretty normal. His milk intake is 19 mL. He is now solely dependent on my breastmilk to help him grow. =) In his last feeding, he had 2 mL of residual. Now, if he has a high amount of residual, they will consider lessening the amount of milk he'll have each time. It's okay with us because all we want is for him to grow, be strong, and be healthy. We'll have him tell us what to do. He's our boss...at least for now! *smile*
