Day 5 of Ethan's Life!

Today is Monday. Jakob went to play at Graphix this morning while Rick & I met with the doctors. Ethan is doing well. He needs to work on eating more. He is taking the bottle very good, but is still not eating enough at each feeding. They are hoping to have him to 50 ml in the next 2 days. So far he is 40 2x's today which is good. They are going to be doing some more lab work just to keep an eye on things. He is a little more awake than what he has been. They are very happy with his progress. Hoping by the weekend to maybe have him home. Jakob came to meet his little brother yesterday it was an interesting experience. He was very jealous, but did fine. Today he came again for a few minutes. A little at a time, maybe he will get used to the concept. We will see.

We meet with the doctors at 10'clock again tomorrow, so more information then.
Enjoy the pics.
Have a great day.
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan

Every time I look at these pictures, it brings a tear to my eye. I marvel at God's intricate handiwork and the way in which He has so abundantly blessed you all.
Love you always,
