Last Saturday Ben finally reached 3 lbs and was wearing clothes!!! Lucky him! They've had him on CPAP for a week to try and help him rest so he will gain weight faster. He is on antibiotics because he has a little bit of urine that flows back to his kidneys and is at risk for urinary tract infection. He should grow out of that though. His eyes were checked and so far they look fine.
Yes, I know we need a recent picture. I was going to take the camera today but in the insanity of getting us all out the door I forgot it. We've had many friends loaning us cars so we can have two but this week it's just the suburban so we had to get Bart to work, kids to babysitter, and me off to Boise. What's scary is some people do this kind of insanity everyday!
Today, Ben is up to 3 lbs 8 ounces!!!!! Bart asked me if he was getting chubby, not quite chubby, less skeletal. Although several nurses like to show off that he finally has a bum cheeks. He was put back on nasal cannula so hopefully he will do okay and keep gaining weight. Thank you for all your prayers and help!!

Won't Ben be pleased for you to relate to all his future girlfriends about the day he finally developed a butt cheek!
Finally was wearing clothes? What did he wear before then?
Beijie-
He was wearing only a diaper. They kept his isolette heated. When he started being able to maintain his own body heat, they turned down the heat and put clothes on him.
