Learning to Eat

We are asking for specific prayer for Levi as he learns to eat. This is alot harder for him than it would be for a full term baby. With his airway issues he is at risk for aspiration. With his lung issues he gets winded as he eats and has to work harder. He is taking milk but they are only allowing him a small amount every 12 hrs. He has done OK with that so far. He definately likes the bottle and has a good suck. I would have never thought my son would have any trouble with eating. Please join us in praying for him to get it so he doesnt need the G-tube. He is still off of the oxygen and is doing really well breathing. He is now up to 7lbs!

On a side note...Happy 5 years to my wife. She is something else for putting up with me. She is also turning into a great Mom.
