Big Progress

I don't have a picture, but baby Caleb is doing great. He is off the baby CPAP machine and breathing entirely on his own. He's through with the bilirubin lights and will probably lose the IV today. He had his first bath today. Shonna is able to dress him in preemie clothes now. She says changing his diaper is scary because he is so little, but she's learning. He still has a feeding tube, but they give him a pacifier to suck while they feed him so he'll associate the two. Shonna pumps, so he is now getting only her milk. Blake has had a cold, so hasn't been to see Caleb for a couple of days, but he went today, wearing a mask. We KNOW the reason Caleb is doing so well is because of your kind thoughts and prayers. Thank you again and again!
