Yaay, Malakai hit the 5 pound mark a day after being 3 weeks old. He's doing so good, Prais God! Our love for Malakai has grown everyday for him. He makes us so happy...and all he does is sleep, eat, & go potty. Oh, and every now & then he'll give us his goo-goo eyes and crack a smile for us! Monday night, the 17th, he ate from the bottle for the first time! It was only a 'lil bit (7 cc's), but that's great news and he coordinated his sucking, swallowing & breathing very well. He'll be trying his bottle feedings every shift change for now, which is 7am & 7pm every day. Then, if he does well, they'll feed him the bottle twice every shift. Yay for our son!
**Please pray that Malakai keeps doing well with his feedings and that he weens off the oxygen well...and in God's timing for him to go home w/ us...soon. :o>
(Darn, I can't post a photo w/these computers @ Ronald McDonald House...soon to come)
