ben is doing really good right now. i'm sitting with him today, and i feel lucky, because i thought that i would be at work today. turns out that we don't have anything for today, which would normally be a downer, but today i get to spend it with my son! it's amazing the feelings that fatherhood arouses.
ben is cruising right along with our sights set to his esophagram on wednesday. that's when they check to see if there are any leaks in his esophagus. he is off his iv's now, and on full breast milk feeds. he is fed through a tube that goes through his nose, and straight down to his intestine. we've had a couple of scary moments with him almost pulling the tube out, but it's remained where it needs be, so we praise the Lord for that. if he passes his esophagram on wednesday, then they can start bottle feeding, and hopefully we can get him home before too long. it all depends on how he reacts, though. so far, he hasn't had any major setbacks, so we pray that that will continue. mommy and daddy can absolutely not wait until he can go home with them.
we continue to ask for prayer for ben. i know that there is so many people that have been praying for him, and for us as well. we feel overwhelmed by it all. i have come to realize how much of a blessed life we lead. God bless you all as the New Year comes.
