Porter Mac is doing good! They have still been feeding him by the NG tube, but have been bumping up his feedings and he is now taking an ounce! I got to snuggle with him for 2 hours today while Thomas and Jenn went to take a shower and eat. He is a snuggle bear! I just wanted to put him in my pocket book and bring him home! Tomorrow the speech therapist will be back to work with him on his sucking reflex. Let's pray that he warms up to it easily, he wanted NOTHING to do with it today :)
Thomas and Jennifer have been so blessed to have the room outside the NICU to sleep in and stay close to Porter Mac, but they had to move out today so a new family could stay there. I know they don't want to leave, but they also know what this new family (which has a baby that was just put on the cooling therapy) is feeling and that they need to be close to their baby. Just pray that they can rest easy tonight, knowing that Porter Mac is getting better by the day!
We are looking forward to a great week!! Thank you all for your continued prayers and we are so excited about the softball tournament this Saturday! They are also selling Porter McClain T-Shirt to help raise money, so if you are interested in one, check out the "Play and Pray" page at the top of the blog!
God Bless!
Thank God for all the answered prayers and will be praying for his sucking reflex to kick in. Still praying for Porter McClain. Love, Barbara Stone
