Ultrasound came back great. All results were positive.  There was a concern with a space in the lung, but James was able to self correct. The doctor is pleased with the progress.

Evening:  James weighed in at 695g!  Our baby is growing up right before our eyes. Speaking of eyes ... he’s really opening them up now. Vitals are good. Feeding is good. He’s pacing steadily.

The great news is that James is now officially off oxygen completely! Also, we have worked with our GI team and the school nurses for them to be able to administer G-tube feeds at school, so he can stay a full day!

Ella at 4, 5, and 6 months (and some extras)! Wow time is flying by because in 2 weeks she'll already be 7 months! 😱 She is such an easy baby! I don't mean because there isn't medical stuff because James was soo good too. Ella is just so chill. She can hang. Always smiley and content. Currently she has been making James laugh so hard! It is the best thing ever and one of these days I'll get it on video. James continues to be so sweet with her and I'd love for this to last forever!🤞🏻🤣 Soo much to update! Life has been great! If I ever find some time I would love to! ✌🏻❤️
