This little guy has amazed us every step of the way! Gage is now on the project of "maintaining" his own body temperature, and he did great with that all day. We even got to put clothes on him today! Tomorrow, he will have reached his "goal" in feedings (34 cc), which means his stomach is handling the food fine and we can concentrate more on method (feeding by mouth).
He continues to gain weight--he was 4lbs 3oz last night, and he has surpassed any doctor's expectations. We are so proud of him, and we are anxiously awaiting the day they tell us he can come home. The doctor estimated that he could come home in as early as 3-4 days!! Please pray that we do not hit any obstacles on this final home stretch!

I would LOVE to see a pic of Gage with his mommy!!!
Sara and Josh you really do have a little trooper! I remember like yesterday when Preston was born. Between God and the great care they can give these little guys it is absolutely amazing how well they do. We are so happy he is making amazing progress! Nothing like a little gift like this eh Josh? It just truly awes and astounds doesn't it? You will be a great father, and Sara a great mother. God bless all (3) of you!
