Happy Anniversary Superman!



Greg fell 25 feet 9 years ago today. We've always celebrated him on this date but this year Ty is trumping our celebration....Greg's okay to celebrate his news instead. Ty's numbers dropped from 19.6 to 18.1 in the last 24 hours. They anticipate that he will drop significantly today as he is on the right road for treatment now. If the numbers do drop by this evening's draw, they will start weaning the photo therapy from 4 units to 2 to see if he can maintain or still drop in bilirubin. They have also given me the all clear to resume breast feeding with formula supplements because they believe they have his hydration levels under control and the estrogen levels are a minor contribution to the blood issue that caused this situation. Yesterday morning his weight was down to 7lbs 8oz and today he weighed 7lbs 11oz.

We also want to wish Greg's parents a Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary today...

The Superman party photo was from our celebration 2 years ago and the other is a photo of the sign Greg fell off in 2000.

Happy Anniversary is right! Please know that we are all out here today praying and celebrating with you guys. Not only the fact that Ty is improving every day but in general that Greg is alive today to be able to celebrate this day. Your family sure has come along way and flourished over the years. I know that it is because of God's Will in your life and your stregenth in each other and your family that this has happened. We all love you and wish a speedy recovery for sweet baby Ty and for some rest for you.

We love you all, let me know when you are ready to talk. Take care I am praying for all of you.
