Latest Update























Since the last update, Hunter has gained more weight. He's up to 4.10!! He's doing well eating from a bottle, basically chows down and doesn't pace himself too well. We are working on nursing still. He's getting better, but gets so tired and he's just so little!! He also had a blood transfusion because his red blood cells were low (he was anemic) and also his hemoglobins and other things. They did the transfusion also hoping that would help him get off the oxygen. He has improved with that, but is still on it. The transfusion helped the other things though. They have switched him to home oxygen which he couldn't handle before the transfusion and is now tolerating. They think that maybe he will come home on it. :( SCARY!!! Anyways for now, here are more pictures. He is still tiny, but getting big to us! He's adorable and opening his eyes more and more. He's a good baby and doesn't cry too much, just when he's hungary. Even then he is very patient. We are so in love!!! (The most recent pics are on top, then decend to older ones.)
