Holding Joey


As you can see from the picture, I got to hold Joey for the first time yesterday. I was pretty happy. Joey is now 2 weeks old today. He is still on the vent on a pretty low setting, but the fluid in his abdomen is preventing him from coming off the vent right now. They have him on some medication to make him urinate more so hopefully he can get some of the fluid off of himself. They changed his feeding to continuous instead of once every three hours which he seems to like better right now. He's still doing well, but please keep Joey in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

  • I've been impressed every morning when I wake up and read this blog by both Joey's progress and the strength and patience of his parents. Reading this blog helps me to understand whats going on even from far off when I don't really hear from the family all that often. I hope to see you all soon! Joey just looks so precious!
