I am down south helping Katie this week. It is my job to get her safely to and from the hospital and offer whatever support I can. Little Kyle is doing well. He is a sleepyhead baby as you can tell from this picture. We sat him up to try to wake him up, but he was just comfy and feel back asleep.


But, he was able to nurse a little bit yesterday. When he can eat enough on his own he can go home. Right now, he still has in a feeding tube in his nose. But everyday he is taking more and more orally, so that is great. And, he just adorable. Katie reads and sings to him and he just loves to cuddle up with his mommy!! It's so sweet to watch.

The NICU at Loma Linda Children's Hospital is about 20 minutes from Katie's house. It has been interesting driving on the Southern California freeways again. (I learned to drive on these freeways). I'm so spoiled where I live, we don't have traffic jams. The hard part for me was driving at night. But I did it!! Oh, and it was fun when I lost my keys at the hospital. Not really, I was happy Katie found them.

We are very much looking forward to the day when little Kyle can come home. Thanks again for all your prayers. It really does help.

He looks like he is plenty healthy. I wish I could sleep like that, especailly last night during a monster rainstorm. I hope he is home soon. As for your driving, eek! I used to have nightmares about the California freeways.

He's a cutie! I hope he can go home soon. I can relate to the NICU nightmare. Do they do Kangaroo Care?

I am glad you are able to be there with Katie. He looks wonderful. He is probably bigger than most of the babies in the NICU. give them loves and hugs from me. Love you.
