Hello friends and family!
David had a good night and is having a great day! He had his first eye exam today and does NOT show signs of ROP (retinopathy of prematurity)! Basically ROP is an abnormal blood vessel in the eye that causes visual problems, sometimes blindness. He will have one more exam in 2 weeks just to be sure, since he is still so little and they don't want to miss anything! Praise God for this, what a blessing!
After his exam, which is short but involved, I held him all swaddled up. It was so sweet to just be able to stare at him and thank God for every little part. I just love to watch him smile in his sleep too! There is nothing like joy on a babies' face, no matter what age!
Praise God for a great eye report and great nurses! And please continue to pray for the weaning of pressure to his nasal cannula... this has a domino effect on the rest of his needs to move forward.
Praise God for the wonderful day! David is growing as God would have him! Our God is a good and gracious God! We continue to pray for the whole family's strength and encouragement as David continues to grow! Love you all!
