Tuesday :)

Porter McClain has had another great day. We are learning that he has a little bit of a temper :) He was wide awake and very active today. The therapists worked with him today and he is getting better, but still not thrilled with the thought of something in his mouth :) He loves for his daddy to talk to him while he's resting and if Thomas stops, Porter opens his eyes to give him a little reminder to keep talking. Thomas and Jennifer are very excited and hopeful of him eating by a bottle soon!

There is talk about taking out his IV's this weekend which is pretty awesome. We are really just amazed and excited about how far he has come! Please continue to pray for his feedings! We know he is sooo close!!!

And can I just say that I love Jennifer Westlake Ruff so much! I am so blessed she is my sister.in.law and I am so proud of her and how she has walked through this experience. I love seeing her and Thomas together. They are amazing and Porter Mac will have the perfect example of what a marriage should be. It's such a blessing to see my brother so happy and see him stand strong for his family.

Oh, and from now on instead of writing Porter McClain a million times, I will now be trying out some nicknames for him :) I have a million and I can't seem to make up my mind of which one fits, so just know that Butter Bean, Mac Truck, Goose, Big Mac, Little Mac, Angel, P Mac, Mac Attack, Little Brother, and Booger Bear are all him :)

Can't wait to bring you more news soon! Keep praying friends! We love you all!
