The weekend is here! I like the weekends when things slow down and the
NICU is not SO busy. I slept in a little late this morning. I don't have anything special scheduled, so why not? Mommy and Daddy
must have slept in as well. Daddy just called at 7:30 for the morning update on me, he usually calls a lot earlier. My nurse today is Ann, she's nice, and she told him that I was doing fine, I'd had a good night, and was just
hangin' out. I'm still doing well with my feeds, breathing, pooping, and body temp. Actually, the only thing keeping me in the
NICU are my eyes. There's nothing wrong with them that we know of, but all preemies have to reach a certain level of eye
development before they are discharged. I ave a eye exam set for next Tuesday. Then we'll find out the details on when I might be going home. We're still taking it one day at a time, but my journey through the
NICU appears to be nearing it's end. Still, we won't count our chickens before they hatch. God has been so gracious to us during this time! Please continue to pray for my continued growth, improvement, strength, and stamina. Also, pray for my folks as they are "stressed" about everything being perfect for me when I do get to go home. They work hard and try to squeeze every second out of each day getting the house ready for me. I'm gonna run for now as it's time to get the morning routine started. Don't forget about tomorrow, Mother's Day! Later,
JSR.

that are not possible for people to do.”
