Cute boy

 This picture was taken on the 5th when Julie and Lexi got to go into NICU for the first time during our Cinco de Mayo breakfast.

 The rest of these were taken a couple of days ago.

We want to thank everyone who has fasted and prayed for little Pierson! We can feel your prayers and appreciate it more than we could ever express!

 Today was Tuesday. The doctors have decided that a swallow study wasn't necessary. The therapist gave Pierson a bottle to see how he did. I wasn't able to be there. I am not feeling good and don't want to give Pierson anything. My parents went and said that he downed the bottle. He loved it. But he did have some desaturations with it, so the doctor doesn't feel like it is safe to continue oral feedings at this time. What doctors suggest is doing the procedure to put him under and have the ENT look to see if there is a cleft in his vocal chords, repair it if there, and then the GI doc to put a G tube in for his feedings until oral feedings are deemed safe. He is at the 3 kilograms (about 6 1/2 pounds) today that he needs to be at for the procedure. We'll keep you updated on what happens from here. Enjoy the pictures!
