These pictures were taken about 2 weeks ago. Didn't they turn out great!
We had a great weekend. Will had lots of visitors... it's too bad that he slept the entire time! It was very special... especially for great-grandparents Parrie & Jim Perdue. It was their first time to meet Will!
Doctors decided to change Will's feedings a little bit because he wasn't getting proper nutrition. He was having several small runny bowel movements, which indicated that he wasn't absorbing the nutrients that he so desperately needs! So, they took him off his breast milk and put him solely on formula. It was kind of a bummer for me, but we need to do what is best for him, and he has already shown improvement!
Today Will was doing better on the ventilator than he had been over the weekend. Yesterday they had raised his rate all the way up to 22! But they took it down to 20 this afternoon and his CO2 and PH levels in his blood started to show improvements, which is great. Hopefully as they continue to wean him on his rate his levels will continue to improve!
Will also had his immunizations today. He took it so well! He has a high pain tolerance... it was nothing to him. Such a tough little guy!!

The hours spent riding in the car to and from Nashville (just so I could spend 15 minutes, looking at and softly touching Will) was worth every bit of the effort. And I'd do it a hundred times more if I could ! It was an experience I'll cherish forever. Will looked so angelic, sleeping so sweetly; his little hand squeezing my finger so neatly. What a wonderful and blissful moment I had with my "First Great Grand Son"
I just silently, to myself, thanked God, for giving Will to ALL OF US !!!
