Sweet Porter Mac has finally arrived home! We were so excited yesterday and it was definitely overwhelming.
I can't get my pictures to upload for some reason so as soon as I can get it figured out I can get them on here! He looks so good and is such a snuggle baby! They had a long night last night trying to get settled in, so I hope tonight is a little easier. The alarm on his feeding pump went off about every 60 seconds for hours last night until they could get it fixed. Needless to say, it made an already intense situation worse. They were absolutely exhausted today, so pray they can get some actual HOURS of sleep tonight.
He fed from his bottle twice today. 10cc's this morning and 25cc's this afternoon. And they were working with him just a minute ago when I left. Please continue to pray for them as they feel the weight of this responsibility on their shoulders. Coming home from the NICU is a life changing experience. Pray that they will be confident in their abilities as parents and pray that Porter will continue to progress in his bottle feedings.
Thank you friends for all your prayers. Please continue to lift them all up. They are just precious. It's hard to be on the outside and want to just fix this for them, but I know that God will supply all their needs.
the first night at home with your first baby is never restful or easy, but I can only imagine how stressful it was for them! Here is to a more restful night and many more to come! So glad to hear that he is home!
