Macario is home

WOW.... Macario is now home with his family. Thank God for all of his blessings. Macario came home on November 18, 2008 we were so excited to have him home for Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for that Thanksgiving had an extra special meaning to us. Once again I am sorry I have not updated sooner but getting used to having a baby at home again has been a challenge (but one that I am happy to take on).

Macario is doing great he is a whooping 5 pounds 2 ounces. He has now doubled his size, to us he is a big boy. He came home on a monitor and continues to be on one for his apnea but has had very few episodes. He is still on caffine and zantac but, we are going to stop these next week and see how he does. His due date is this Friday December 12, 2008 so this is where the doctors say that we can begin to document his progress.

The brain hemmorage is still stable as of now and we are continuing to pray that this will get better soon. We still do not know the long term effects from this and the prematurity but are praying there are none. We are getting involved in an early intervention program to help us with these effects if they appear.

Mommy and Daddy are trying to get used to the sleepless nights, but feel blessed that Macario is a good sleeper, the doctor just took him off the every 3 hour feeding to on demand feedings and Macario is now sleeping for 5 hours straight (he is such a good boy).

We thank everyone again for all your support and prayers and ask that you continue to pray.

God Bless you and Your family
