Day 64

Today's weight... 3 pounds 14.3 ounces!!! I can't believe it!! I remember waiting for what seemed like forever for him to reach 2 pounds and here we are almost to 4. Even with his infection, he was doing well today. Eating 35cc's and back down to 2 liters on his oxygen and keeping his oxygen percentage pretty low on that. Good boy! His culture yesterday still showed infection. They did another one today, hopefully it will be negative. He got his 2 month shots today...as if he hasn't been poked enough. The Dr. is going to do his dye test either the end of this week or beginning of next week to see if he has the reflux in his kidney/bladder. That may give us a little more info on why these UTI's have been popping up. Kanyon has enjoyed his visit with Gram...we're hoping he'll hit 4lbs before she leaves tomorrow..that means tonight will have to be a big night. Last time she was here, their "goal" was for him to open his eyes before she left and he did the day she left. So, we'll see tomorrow if he reaches their goal for this trip. How about some pictures!!


This is his little splint to help straighten his foot. It was bent probably from having to share a tummy with his sister.


Being gawked over sure makes a little boy sleepy!!

Sweet time in Gram's lap!

Jaymie,
Kanyon is getting so big! I can't believe the difference between the 1 month pics and the 2 month! He is really so precious. I know you can't wait to have him home and I can't wait for you to either. Hang in there, it won't be long now!
Still prayin'...Emily R.

I never get tired of seeing pictures of that little guy. I am sorry to hear about the UTI's, Emaline had her own battles with those nasty things. We love you and talk about you at our house all the time, in fact I just told Parker I was sending you an email and he wants to type some too, so here goes Parkerman: fhfgjhhhhhhhhhhhhhjglkfkbgiu8gllhkkgg,,bgmgjtgghkglblbvkvvvvjvoggfsa

He has changed so much in a month! We sure are praying, and will especially about those UTI's. Speaking of boys, Mary Nan just hollered that J.J. is sitting on Laura, so I better go. We love y'all! Y'all take care! Robyn

Jaymie,
What precious pictures of your precious son! You all are still in my prayers. Like I told you, as a fellow mother of twins, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I am so glad that Kanyon is doing so well.
