...AND DOING GREAT! We just pray he continues to handle being off the oxygen! Here are some pictures of him where you can SEE his face!

Two weeks home...

Well, yesterday was two weeks home for Tommy...and we're all still surving, best yet Tommy is thriving!

On the 24th, a friend dropped off this HUGE Moses basket, filled (overfilled) with all kinds of goodies from our Sunday School class and the Women's Ministry at our church. There are some books for mom and dad, a book and stuffed dog for Tommy, another baby toy, some PJ's, some onesies, diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, two hand made blankets, spit up rags, pacifiers and I'm sure I've forgotten something...but you get the idea! We even got warm cookies with the basket. This was a fun surprise Saturday evening. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends to have put so much effort into the fabulous gift.
I wasn't kidding...it was stuffed!!

On the 26th, Tommy saw the pediatric opthamalogist in Oklahoma City. The doctor wants to see him back in a month. Tommy's eyes look immature, which as the doc explained to us is NORMAL because he is a preemie. I was told, read or somehow learned that even a fullterm baby's eyes don't finish developing until 2-4wks of age! Tommy is still minus 2 wks old! He's due in just 2 weeks!

On the 27th, Tommy went for a quick visit with the pediatrician. He weighs 4lbs, 14ozs! Almost 5lbs!! All is well. We now have a pulsoximeter to measure his blood oxygen saturation levels to wean him off of his 1/16 liter of oxygen. Hip, hip hooray!

On the 28th (yesterday) we switched him from 1/32 to 1/64...and this morning I turned it off completely. It's been 2 hrs and he's still doing well!
