Tues. Oct. 9th

Luke is doing well today. I couldn't visit him today because I am feeling like I am coming down with something. Hopefully it is nothing and I feel better tomorrow. He did get some great holding time in today from my sister Melissa and his Godmother Kathy. It's nice that other people can hold him, especially when I can't be there. The nurse did put the phone up to Luke's ear so I could tell him how much I love him.
Jeremy fed Luke this morning and he took a small amount. He's been more tired the last few days, mainly because he's anemic. He still is taking the iron supplement and he is reproducing cells, just not quite as fast as his body needs. We are looking at possibly another transfusion for him sometime soon. We are hoping we can work it out that he can use his daddy's blood again.
Luke also is continuing with those desat spells, which are partially because of his anemic state and also because of his reflux. They may start him on reflux meds. to see if it makes a difference. I have also stopped having dairy in my diet to see if that makes any changes for Luke too.
We appreciate all your prayers and support.
