Trip to Pima and Update on Grant

We have been busy little bees lately!! Mike had a couple of days off work so we were able to go up to Pima for a couple of nights earlier this week. We had such a great time! Kingston was able to play outside pretty much non-stop for 2 days with his cousins. I think he had the most fun with his uncle Hunter!! Hunter has about 5 horses, 30 rabbits, and 10 chickens in a coop! It's like a mini farm and Kingston absolutely loves it! He even has his own horse that Hunter let him name, Kingston some how came up with the name 9.8?? Don't kids say the funniest things sometimes!!?

Feeding the chickens all by himself!

Kingston is riding 9.8's mommy, she is so good with all the kids!!

Jimmy playing with the rabbits was so hilarious!! He didn't understand why these 'stuffed animals' moved! He would pick them up and they would jump out of his hands! It entertained him and us for quite some time!

Golfing in the backyard is always fun! They try to see who can drive it the furthest...Mike always wins of course! They are being silly posing for the camera!


I of course can't do a post without talking about my little angel Grant! He is starting to do better again. The poor little guy hasn't been able to eat for about 10 days now! He has been on antibiotics for the NEC in his intestines and while he has the infection he isn't able to eat! They were able to do a small surgery on him 2 nights ago to put a central line in...its pretty much an IV that is close to the heart...with this they are able to stop poking him for IVs every day and able to give his meds and up the calories through his TPN. He surprisingly weighs 4lbs 6oz now, which is crazy cause he hasn't been eating! The TPN nutrition is obviously working! However they are a little concerned because he seems to be holding on to a little extra fluid from his blood transfusion...just something we will be keeping an eye on! As far as breathing goes he is doing great!! Just on oxygen but otherwise completely breathing on his own! We can't wait to have him home and we love him so so so so so much! Thanks for all the prayers, he has already gone through so much and we know he wouldn't have gotten through it without the man upstairs! Love to all!!

The end!
