Sunday Visit

We received doctors orders (thanks to a wonderful nurse) for Wyatt to be able to visit Owen in his room. His visits are only supposed to be 30min but the nurses let us stay for 4 hours.

Owen enjoyed his brother immediately. It was amazing to see his expression change as soon as he saw Wyatt. Wyatt was intrigued enough to try and land a few elbows while we weren't looking. In the first picture you can see where they are both trying to maintain elbow room.

Owen has gained more weight and is maintaining his own temperature. We were able to give him some of a bottle so that was a great feeling. They have increased his food to a little over an ounce. Hopefully today that will increase again.

We are praying that his seizures have stopped, he will continue gaining sucking motion and holding his core temperature. We are also still praying that the long term effects will not keep him from living a full healthy life.
