Picture's of Bryant. Finally!!!

So tomorrow will be 4 weeks at Primary Children's Medical Center. It has been a rollercoaster. We have met some outstanding families, that have made our journey easier. It's easier to talk to them because they know exactly what you are going through and exactly how you feel. You root for them. We root for Maddux to eat and poop. We celebrated when Bryant's firt buddy Andrew got to go home today (congratulations to the Christensen family!).

Bryant is progressing. Right now is so hard because he is going through withdrawals from the drugs he was on to manage his pain. He is feeding good. One day he will eat 3 full feedings then the next he will eat 2ml. A full feeding is 56ml. Once he does that consistantly we can head home. But is withdrawal is slowing the process up. The important thing is every day Bryant is getting better. We worked with our development therapist and Bryant lifted his head and moved it side to side all on his own. He also followed toys with his eyes. He prefers solid colors. He also responded to daddy's voice. Our therapist gave him an A+ for the day.

Aspen talks every day about her brother. She draws him pictures, tells stories about what she will teach him. It's amazing. She never stops amazing me. She never has been jealous of all the attention that Bryant gets and we try our hardest to keep it that way. She loves her time with Papa Lonnie and the train ride he takes her on.

Again we would like to thank everyone for their prayers and best wishes.

Anyway here are the pictures....
