I now weigh 5lbs 6 oz! I am almost back to my birth weight! I vomited early this morning while pooping at the same time. Then I vomited one more time after that, so the doctors stopped my feeds. They ordered an x-ray and everything came back okay. They began continuous feeds again at 10:00 am rounds this morning. I have kept the breast milk down for the day. I am getting 4cc's every hour. They have lowered my TPN because I am getting more breast milk. I pulled the gavage tube out of my nose this afternoon (tube that pushes the breast milk from my nose into my stomach). My mom had to leave the room while they put it back in. She hates to hear me scream while they insert it. I took a nap with my mom this afternoon. I love to snuggle.
My mom, dad, and I want to thank everyone again for your thoughts, prayers, and support. I am growing more each day and getting stronger.
Love, Ben

Hi Beautiful Benjamin,
Good news about your weight gain and getting more breast milk. Be careful with gavage tube though. Keep taking afternoon naps with your mom; it's good for both of you. Grandma smiles every time I picture you two snuggling. God Bless you and your mom and dad, Love you, Grandma Carol & Papa Phil

We really miss seeing you and your parents. Hopefully we can come and visit you soon! Take care, Shannon, Miranda, Aubree, and Trinity

Hi Ben,
It was so wonderful to meet you yesterday! You slept in my arms and all I could do was smile looking at you. It was so nice to see and visit with your mom and dad too! You stay strong peanut and know how much I love you!
Love, Jess
Hey Little Guy,

Hey Ben,
Great job on gaining weight. I get weighed every 3 months and so far I'm doing great...I only weigh 3 lbs less than my 6 1/2 year old sister. I get to eat lots of fattening food...mom says it is great for me not so much for her. Just wait until you get baby food...all the other babies only get plain old baby food and yours will have real butter and brown sugar! YUM!!
Well, I'm glad you are gaining weight and getting better. Remember you don't have to make life completely easy on your parents...always good to break them in early!:)
Your friend, Cameron
