Merry Christmas everyone! This Christmas day is a bittersweet one--sad because Cooper can't be home with us for Christmas, but happy because this week he has made so many positive accomplishments. He's back on the nasal canula and they keep reducing his oxygen levels which means if all goes well he'll be breathing entirely on his own before long. He's handling his feedings well and they're upping the amounts he gets every day. He will probably have his IV's removed this week--yayyyy! Matt and I have been able to hold him almost every day, but only for a short time. We hope all these good things continue and we won't have to endure any other serious "bumps in the road". He'll be 4 weeks old on Sunday and now weighs 2 lbs. 11 oz. Thanks so much for all the prayers and please keep them coming.
