I got to go see Porter Mac this afternoon and he is doing so so good! He is starting to root which we hope is a prelude to him wanting to suck. Can he suck? yes :) Does he like to? Not yet...But it's just a matter of time before he get the hang of it. He looked the best I've ever seen him today! He now weighs 8lbs 14oz! He is by far the biggest boy in the NICU and compared to the preemies, he looks like he could eat them for lunch :) He has got the sweetest yummy little double chin you have ever seen and I think I am already driving him crazy kissing it :)
I went to a meeting in Cedartown tonight to talk about the details of the Softball Tournament this weekend and I am so excited about this weekend! As far as details, they are going to start serving food at 5 (burgers and dogs so COME HUNGRY!) and the first games start at 6. They will be selling raffle tickets for some great prizes (which you don't have to be there to win), and T-shirts which are $15 (which you can order even if you can't make it!) The generosity of you all has been amazing and I can't wait to look back and tell Porter Mac stories about you all when he is older :)
If you need any more details on this weekend, get in touch with Ryan or Matt on the "Play and Pray" page and I will try and have directions on there as soon as I get them!
Thank you all for your commitment to pray for Porter McClain! He has come sooo far and we know since July 10th we have really had God's attention. This didn't take Him by surprise, and I know He is pleased with our faith in Him! Keep praying friends! We love you all!
Thomas Jennifer and Family, There is Hope. My neice, Ansley Fowler, was born with heart defects and rushed to Eggleston within 24 hours of birth. She celebrated her 22nd Birthday in March.Believe me when I tell you, I have seen God's Miracles more than once in her life. There is Hope.
ReplyDeleteYou both were such a cute and happy couple at Woody and Katie's wedding. It was obvious that you two are a team and I know with your renewed faith in God that all 3 of your lives will become a Witness for your Family, Friends and Community. We are here praying for you, Tommy and Toni Rozier. Psalm 103.
you know, Jayden didn't like to suck either. He never took a pacifier and hated taking his bottles and then hated eating. It was always a fight but now he does well. I love PM!! He is such a lil trooper. May He always remember the hand that God has on his life! Much love to you all.

Praise God for Porter Mac's progress. I know the next step is him eating. I am so glad to have been a part of this blessing. Keep us posted. Love and prayers for Porter McClain.
