Our sweet baby (my great-nephew) is doing pretty well.
He is now just over 4 weeks old and hanging in there.
As of yesterday, they took him off of the respirator and he is breathing on his own - this is good. He is still on oxygen.
He is almost 2 lbs. now and continues to gain weight and gain strength daily.
This picture, with the nurse's hands close, shows how tiny he is.
He is tiny - but he is mighty. He is a strong boy and we are so proud of what a fighter he is - what a strong boy he is.
God continues to stay close to our sweet baby and we are so thankful for his progress and pray that he continues to do well.
He is the sweetest thing. We love him so much!

Thanks for the update Kellan, I think about your sweet baby all the time. Especially as my 21 week old babies continue to make their presence more and more known. No that was not a typo we just found out we are expecting babies!!! Life is so fragile. I will continue to hold your sweet baby in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for the update Kellan. It's good to hear that he is gaining weight and doing better. We will continue to pray for him and his family.
My grandsons (twins) were born at 23 weeks' gestation. One pound, one pound 5 ounces. Six months later, they are 7 and a half pounds and almost 9 pounds. Miracles happen! And this baby will be your miracle!
Oh! He is tiny!!! I'm so happy he is a fighter and doing well! Praise the Lord! \o/
Julie
Wow, Kellan, he just looks so much smaller in this picture than in the previous ones. I guess the nurse's hands make all the difference.
Thank you for the update. It is wonderful to hear that he is now breathing on his own, gaining weight and doing so well.
Hope you're having a good weekend, Kellan.

There are great things in store for Your Little Baby, Kellan. I can just feel it. He is a permanent part of my prayers; of course, right along with you and the rest of your family!
Have a wonderful day, Kellan Renee!
Kellan,

Also, do you follow the blog Confessions of a CF Husband ? Their baby was born waaay early back in January and she has done phenomenally well. You might want to check it out as an encouragement for your nephew. I will keep him in my prayers.
Fragile, yes, but clearly a fighter. Keep us posted.
Oh, he is sooooo tiny! Glad that he is doing well; and hope he stays strong. What a little trooper!
