Justin and I went to see Duncan this evening and he is doing good. They have given him a medicine to help dry the liquid in his lungs. They are hoping it works and that his breathing improves so they can go down on the settings on the breathing machine. He did loose a couple of ounces yesterday and is at 1lb. 13oz. but they think the medicine they gave him did that. It will continue to happen, his weight will go up and down. He is doing really well on his feedings. He is now at 3 cc's every 3 hours. He looks like he is filling out. We hope to see some growth in the next couple of weeks. They only measure them on Sundays.
Justin and I appreciate all the prayers and kind thoughts that everyone sends us. Keep praying for Duncan that his lungs will mature and that the hole in his heart will stay closed. I really feel that Heavenly Father is watching out for him and blessing him in so many ways.

I love this picture! He is so sweet.
He's getting there, Nat.... He is adorable! Of course you, Justin, and Duncan are in our prayers. He's a special kid and you and Justin are special parents to be given this gift.
So do they have you pumping? Do the measure everything that he drinks? He is such a cute little squirt! We keep praying for all of you.
Has Justin gone back to work yet? How are you doing? When it gets to the point where you can hold him, let me come take some pictures....please! :)
