Update on Corban-May 29, 2008


Corban sure is a tough little guy. We called to check on him this morning when we woke up and the nurse told us that he had pulled his feeding tube out and they were going to try to let him keep it out. We got to the hospital a short time later for a feeding and he was doing fairly well but at his next feeding they had to put it back in because he was slowing down a bit. He still has some work to do in this area but he has been pushed so much the last few days that we are confident he will get the hang of it! It just might take some time.

He really is a sweet little baby. Not that we are partial or anything, but he really is! He was quite alert and awake this morning so we were able to just take him in some more. It is kind of funny but some of the nurses actually fight over who gets to take care of him. It is a good feeling knowing the level and quality of care he is receiving. We also are being told usually at least once a day how amazed everyone is at his improvement. We know that this is not anyone's doing but God's. There is no way that Corban would be where he is today if it were not for the faithful prayers that have been prayed on his behalf. Thank you for all of your continued support.


In Him-

Matt, Mindy & Corban

Oh man, he is a handsome little guy! He and Adelaide have a lot in common. She is now taking 8 ounces per feeding, but I remember the feeding tubes and cheering her to get down 5 ml...Your wonderful day will come soon. Isn't God so amazing! I am so glad to hear that you guys are getting to hold him now. It is the best feeling when you get to start changing their diapers and doing the feedings! You guys are in our prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do, seriously.
We love you, Heidi, Bryan & Adelaide.
