Luke.... I Am Your Father
The results of your prayers are on display at UCLA where the day after asking for extra prayers for Luke's feeding, he successfully took every other feeding today VIA THE BOTTLE. Nurses also bumped him from 10 cc's two days ago to 20 cc's yesterday to 30 today which is fantastic. Fifty cc's is the goal and these are huge strides.
On other positive fronts, his oxygen levels have been turned down and they hope to have him permanently off the photo light tomorrow.
We continue to pray for improved feeding and also for some upcoming test results regarding Luke's longterm health.

God is good! We will continue to pray for Luke to get bigger and stronger so that he will get to come home. It sounds like he has already discovered that as the old saying goes..."Milk, it does a body good." What a wonderful photo. Happy Father's Day to Bob!
ReplyDeletePraise God for Luke's progress. We continue to pray for his long term health, and the results of those tests you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Father's Day Bob!
Oh, yes, that's one thing I (now) remember from NICU days for our family. Sometimes it seems the baby hits a plateau and then suddenly the baby is able to do take some important step -- so encouraging toward baby coming home!
ReplyDeleteSo that's wonderful news about Luke! We'll continue to pray for his long-term health.

Go Luke! That is wonderful news. He is such a champion.
ReplyDeleteBob - how long have you been waiting to use that title line? Ha ha... :)
Great news, Miki and I continue to hope and pray for continued progress for little Luke. By the way, I hope when you tell Luke you are his father that he doesn't scream "Noooo, you can't be!" like the in the movie. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat news, I am following Luke's progress. Patti, told me of the site. I am a McConnell family friend. Luke has been in my prayers each day.
