Update on baby Paul

[GEM]

I just wanted to let you all know that Paul continues to do amazingly well. We have been so blessed and lucky so far. His lungs are strong and they have turned the ventilator down as low as they can without removing him from it completely. His kidneys and other organs are working perfectly. An ultrasound of his brain showed absolutely no bleeding, which was a big concern. The only problem they are having is keeping him still. He's just to wiggly! Everyone in the nursery is amazed at him. We are at UAMS hospital in Little Rock and I can't say enough wonderful things about the doctors and nurses - his and mine. I feel like he is in the best possible place. We have settled in to the guest house across from the hospital and it will be our home for a while. It is a really wonderful place. We have a beautiful private bedroom and bath and they have a computer room, library, TV and game room, fully stocked kitchen, laundry room, shuttle service to doctor's appointments, etc. All for six dollars a night! Thanks so much for your continued thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to all three of us to know that we have so many wonderful people thinking about us!

This is very good news. My best to all of you. My middle DS was 9 weeks early. He is 22 yo, played hs football (starter on the offensive line) is 6'1" and 200 lbs. He was a member of the honor society and is a senior at the U of Maryland and has received academic honors. I am not saying this to brag but to give you encouragement. Premature babies can be such little fighters. Jason was in the hospital for 6 weeks and it was such a joy to bring him home on Mothers Day that year. Please keep us posted.
