Suzie and Grandpa went to the hospital today to visit Adam and was able to hold him for about 4 minutes as they changed out his incubator. They clean the incubator and change everything out once a week. She was very nervous, but very happy to be able to hold her little boy. Usually, parents aren't able to hold their baby until they reach at least four pounds. But, Suzie happened to be there when they were changing everything out and was lucky enough to hold her baby boy!

Suzie was able to help feed him today and he's fed through a feeding tube from his mouth down to his stomach, but he is on Suzie's milk and takes it very well. The tube that he has in his stomach may be removed tomorrow. :) They hope to get little Adam to take in more milk tomorrow.

The nurses are going to test his blood sugar tonight and are going to take out his IV from his foot because the IV repositioned itself. They will re-insert it later tonight.

Adam was looking at Suzie a lot as she was holding him but he was so tired he kept closing his eyes. :) He was very comfortable with Mommy holding him. :)

Thank you for all for your continuous prayers for little Adam, Mommy, and Daddy!
