Happy ONE Week baby Roman!!!!

He is smiling in the above picture and did several times today, but those are on Kacey's camera, the ones I added below are from their cell phones!
This is on Kacey's chest, and he is holding Dustin's finger

... all that is left is a feeding tube, which shold should possibly come out in one week!

My beautiful sister...now a beautiful Mommy! Thank you Jesus!!

Today Roman weighed 2lbs 13.7oz, he is on his way back up!!

Look how tiny I am in my Daddy's arms!

Thank you for your prayers on his test results! The brain scan came back normal. The kidneys are still showing a little bit of fluid but the Dr is not concerned and they may or may not check it again before he goes home.

There are NO MORE needles in his sweet body! They took the last IV out last night!! Roman only has a feeding tube in his mouth. He is on normal feedings every 3 hours, 24 ml. Kacey is pumping every 3 hours through the night as well and is producing double what Roman is eating, so there is plenty back up!

Roman is pooping 2-3 times a day which pleases everyone. He makes a sweet cooing sound when he sleeps and a heart beat sound that Kacey has put in his bed next to him has helped him to calm down. His incubator is covered with a blue Prince blanket and all the nurses call him Prince. The ladies are already fighting over who gets him for the day and brag on how beautiful he is!! Roman recognizes Dustin & Kacey's voice and opens his eyes when they talk.

Their only focus now is to feed and grow him!

We are so very proud of this young man!! Kacey is feeling good and Joy comes with every new day! Here is one last picture from today, on Daddy's heart:

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12

"...I raised you up for this purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth." Romans 9:17
