Hi loved ones,

My precious tiny little angel great grandson is holding his own. Today he is off the respirator. He has a eye infection but is responding to antibiotics. He has started taking breast milk through a tube.(Kayla has planned to breast feed all along). She is pumping her breast daily for the milk. The baby will receive antibodies from Kayla’s milk which will benefit Vincent greatly. He has gained back the weight he had lost. Although he is in a incubator now to control his body heat, I feel in my heart we are all blessed by his well being. For one such tiny human to be born so small and to thrive is a miracle and blessing from God himself.

I have seen life as well as death for many years now as a nurse, but it never ceases to amaze me what technology is available today, from just 30 years ago in medicine. The hospital has some very experienced doctors and staff to take care of the best . I have faith the baby shall do well under their care.

Kayla and Andrew are doing well. Kayla is worried about her baby, but she knows he is in good hands. One day she plans going into the neonatal field too as a nurse. Kayla is in very much monster, big, bad, momma bear protective mold concerning the baby. If you even sneeze she goes ape.

They are staying at the Ronald McDonald house during the babies hospitalization, for the ride is a long one home and back. Andrew went back to work, but he is home right after. Both are going to be fine parents. I am so proud of them.

I get to hold the baby tomorrow. Kayla has got to hold him once, and it was just so precious. We have raised my granddaughter well.

Thank you all for your prayers and kindred words. I cannot express how much you all have touched all of the family. Kayla and Andrew are aware of you prayers. She has asked me to formally thank each and every one of you so in this post I am.

God Bless you all.

All my love,

Katie
