I just talked to Tricia--they had to move Tommy's IV again!!! Now it is back in his foot. But, they say that he is getting very close to the weight where they start letting him regulate his own temperature!! That is one of the criterion for him to come home! Then, once he gets to be 4 pounds, he'll be taken out of the incubator. Those little glimpses of hope are sure nice to see! They are also bumping his feedings to 8.5 ml tonight at his 11:30 pm feeding.
Also, while you are praying for Tommy, Karina Sones is another little girl worthy of prayer. Many of you know her, but in case you don't, you can visit her journal here
Basically, she had lukemia, and they did a bone marrow transplant on her (I think she is about 7 years old). The bone marrow took well, but now she is fighting some other infections that bubbled up in the last few weeks. They were stationed her in Altus and then moved to Washington DC. They are a very sweet Christian family, and we were blessed to know them while they were here.
Just a couple more days until more pictures!!
HUGE BLESSING ! A Matching Grant !

Looks like Karina's website didn't come up on Larry's update. For those who do want to go to her site, here it is:
