Yesterday was a good day! I finally got to hold Grant last night at around 8 pm. Its a really good sign that we were able to hold him so soon. We will be doing Kangaroo Care every night at around 8. Kangaroo Care is when we are skin to skin... it has proven to be so helpful with premature babies development and makes them stronger... he did very well and was so calm laying on me, it made me very emotional and happy to feel our bond as mother and son. He is so perfect in everyway and we are so blessed that nothing major has gone wrong. We were told this morning that he has a heart murmer and they will be doing an echo test to check on it. Hopefully his body will be able to correct it on its own, and if not they will do some meds to help him out..If the meds dont work they will have to do a small surgury to fix it but this is common in premature babies so we dont feel to worried about it. He now weighs 2 11 so hes lost a little weight, they will keep a close eye on it and make sure he doesnt lose to much more. He got put on cafene yesterday to help his breathing and it is working great!
Kingston was able to see him for the first time yesterday. He is so sweet and you can tell he was a little worried when he saw him.. he kept saying hi grant, my kingston! haha it was adorable. 
Oh Hanna you are such a strong person! I can't imagine everything your family is going through. I am so happy that he is doing better! He sounds like a strong little guy! We would love to help in anyway! We would love to bring your family a meal! I know how it can be just having a little one! Hope you are feeling well Hanna! Take Care! Oh & I love his name! So cute!
