WOO-HOO!

13 lbs, 6 oz! (now sing that and dance around a little)... That translates to 30 grams a day since we were last at UK (about a month). They wanted him between 20 and 30 grams per day, and he was only at about 17ish before this month. But not anymore! His rate of weight gain is finally on track. Yeah!! :-)

Can you tell I'm excited?

Once again, more numbers that show how you all are praying our boy to good health. Celebrate with us, friends and family!

(oh - we also saw Dr. Irene. All is well. No change in dosage unless labs come back too high or too low. She also taught us some how-to's as we prepare to travel home for Christmas, including how to give an IM emergency dose of his hydrocortisone if we needed to).

Praise the Lord and pass the amunition UH--food that is.
It is so good to know that Athan is doing better. I surely hope we can meet our little Athan while you are here for Christmas. We have learned to love all of you through your very informative blogs.
We continue to remember you all in our prayers.

Love. Neva Riggins
