7lbs and NO TUBES!

Asher is now a little over 7lbs!! He also got his feeding tube out again yesterday and they decided not to put it back in and see how he would do with his feeds. He's been taking MOST of his bottles at every feeding!! We are praying he can keep it out, as it causes some irritation and probably makes eating a little more challenging with that back there. We are so excited and just in a constant state of "can you believe he's this or that??" We are beyond thankful for all the Lord has done and healed in this sweet boy! We KNOW the many prayers said for Asher have been a HUGE part of his healing and growing so well. We again, thank you and everyone who you know who asks you about Asher and tells you they are praying as well. We continue to hear those stories and they continue to overwhelm us! We will hopefully have our miracle boy home before July! We will see..NICU life is very unpredictable. Thank you again for prayers for Asher... he will have another dilation this coming Monday. Please pray it goes as smoothly as the others, (risk of tearing the esophagus) and that he is able to wake up quickly, get off the ventilator, and get back to eating and feeling good. Thank you so much!!
