Sunday. September 14, 2008 in the Evening

Is is time to go back to work already? We hope everyone had a restful weekend. The boys had a nice weekend and Jackson had a big soccer game yesterday.
Jackson played forward for the first half and he played very well. The second half, he played goalie and he did well for the first time every playing this position. We will have to work with him on getting in front of the ball, but we were so proud with his efforts during the game.
Not much going on with Zander. His feeds during the day are the same and at night he has been increased to 35 ml every hour. Grandma Pat (Christie's Mom) visited with him on Saturday and Sunday. Paw Paw and Mama Gene came by to see him today as well. We were glad that the Zman was able to visit with them and that they were able to hold him.
Christie and I spent a few hours with him both yesterday and today. We figured out that he likes to have a blanket on his head while he sleeps. We are thinking that he comes from royal bloodlines, hence the need for a silk crown actually a silk blanket, but we are trying to retrace our lineage to research this issue. He also has learned when it is time to eat. As with most males, he pitches a fit if he does not get his food when he wants it.
Christie's last day of work will be Friday. We do not know yet the specifics of when he is coming home, but we do know that it will likely be at the first of the week since the 24 hour nursing will not be here until at least Monday. We hope to find out more in the next few days and we will keep everyone posted.
Thanks as always for the comments, prayers and encouraging words. We are anxious to get him home, but prayers for him (and us) are still needed. It will be a long slow road, but God is with us.
We hope everyone has a great start to the week!
Sweet dreams boys. We love you. Zander, keep moving along.

Love, love, love the pictures! How precious!

I'm keeping you all in my prayers. I'm sure most days you're exhausted before the day begins, and I don't know you do it. Well, I know God is giving you strength, but I'm still amazed!

Way to go, Jackson! I bet you're going to be a great goalie!

Zander, I don't like to feel a breeze on my head when I sleep. I might need to take a cue from you and try the blanket thing. :)

God Bless,

What dont you know that he is royalty...He IS a child of The King...Jesus..he knows that...he is just showing you by wearing the silk blanket on head...Dad I thought you knew that...oh well we learn something new everyday! Really he looks like an angel with that passie in his mouth...And Jackson believe it or not Jessie was a good goalie when she played .
