I weighed 11lbs 4oz yesterday when the home nurse came to draw my blood. I am getting so big! I can now wear my 3-6 month clothes. I only have a little over a week to finish my three antibiotics. This is my first week I don't have any doctor appointments. I go see Dr. Brown next week. Each visit we have been lowering the calories I receive from the TPN. I sleep throughout the night now too. It helps that I am being feed through my NG tube all night. I now get 38 cc's per hour and tomorrow we will go up to 40 cc's per hour. I get about 100 cc's in my bottle 6 times a day. My hair and eyelashes have really started to grow. I am getting little curly wings on the side of my noggin. I finally got professional pictures done last week. Mom has to go pick them up this week. Dad came to the appointment. We had some family photos taken by Mr. Robert Bruce. He did my Mom and Dad's wedding. I did really well at my photo shoot.

Hey Hamsome who has grown so big since the last blog!!!!!!!!!!
WOW you sure love that bouncy seat and are very impressed on how strong you are 'cause that thing was a BOUNCING! YEEHA :)
As always we think of you often and send hugs to your Mom and Dad
Love the Rapsons
Hey Ben,
Good to see you are doing better! I'm glad you took my advice and have kept your mom and dad on their toes! I am in the process of doing that now to my parents! I have cultured Psuedomonas and we went back and forth between a hospital stay...I decided for my own good I should start eating and taking my antibiotics to avoid the hospital! Mom got a few sleepless nights and then I took pity on her and slept through the night to give her a break! She smiled at me all morning...what a wonderful thing sleep does for her!!!
Keep getting better and bigger! We keep you in our prayers everynight!
Your Friend, Cameron Hain
hi ben! i can't believe how big you are - that is such amazing news. i've kinda been out of the loop for a bit - and i got all teary eyed reading how well you've been doing and how much progress you've been making. it makes me so happy for you and your mom and dad - you all deserve some good news and progress. great things come in packages too, so not only are you amazing - the spartys are doing super too -- you all must be very excited! i can't wait to see your first professional pics - i'm sure you look very handsome. big hugs for all of you.
lots of love -
