Joseph hit some more milestones but I think this quick story says it best. Christina, my younger sister, has been helping watch Joseph at the hospital so Mary and I can spend some time with the other kids at their events. She saw him Saturday morning and then again today. She walked in to his room. By the way, his room has changed. Joseph was in a private room but now he is in a larger room with up to six infants in it. (I like to think that he moved to a much larger private room and he just has a bunch of friends over) But it was the same room as Saturday although they had moved a few kids around. Christina walked up to Joseph's bed and saw such a change from Saturday that she looked around to make sure she was in the right place and even checked his name tag on the crib. It was Joseph alright. He has really changed and looks so much better. This is him sleeping today:
I think you can see why Christina did a double take. He looks like a a happy little baby just ready to go home! Going home will still take awhile as he must be able to tolerate "full feeds" (as the nurses say) That is about 75 cc's every three hours. Today he went from 3 cc's to 10 cc's. Hey---it's a start!
It was very nice to attend mass at Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Church today. They prayed for "baby Joseph" and many people came up to say they had seen the blog. I am constantly amazed at how many people read the ramblings of a grateful father. I am pleased to be able to share this journey and to have you walking along with us. It has made all the difference.
Peace,
Kenny

Hi Mary, Kenny and the Girls,
We are so happy and thankful that Joseph is doing so well. We are offering our prayers for his steady recovery and hope that he is able to come home soon. Once again if there is anything we can do..just call.
