Grady's first Graduation


Saturday, Grady graduated to a new room. As the babies, in the NICU, improve, they move from their first room to another room. He still has all of his monitors, but his 'room' is more like a room now. His first stop was more like an emergency room nursery. He continues to be assisted with the respirator, but is doing very well. I can't wait to get to see his entire little face without those contraptions attached to him, but I will wait since they are still needed.
This weekend, Suzanna spent several hours each day, holding Grady. Saturday, she and Grady took a short nap together. I am so glad she is getting to do some of the things Mommys do with their newborns. Today, she got to hold him while he ate his 20 mls. Yes, this is another increase in his feedings. Did I tell you that he is fed every three hours? Mommy says, 'Grady is liking his groceries.' Suzanna has a little story to tell about all those groceries. Be sure and ask her, when you see her. More great news, Grady is now over 2 lbs.
I spent a few minutes with my grandson, this afternoon. If I have forgotten to tell you, he is PRECIOUS. This weekend, I got to spend time with Emma. Siblings still can not go see their tiny baby brothers or sisters. But the minute RSV season is over and they are allowed to go in, Emma is ready to go meet her baby brother.
As always, we all want to thank you for your prayers, thoughts and kind words. Tim and Suzanna are working and driving back and forth to spend time with Grady. This is a lot of highway hours so please keep them in your prayers, also.
Talk soon,
JoJo
