Tues. Nov. 6th

We have great news to report. Luke's eye issue has self-resolved and he has no eye issues, they are completely fine. He'll still have a follow-up in about a year, but from what they can see now (no pun intended), his eyes will be just fine. Very wonderful!
Also, after I left yesterday the nurse said Luke was just rooting around like crazy, so she checked with the NMP's (nurse practitioners) and they said to go ahead and bottle feed him and see how he does, which he did wonderfully and loved it. Well, he's taken a bottle at about every feed since. On occasion a full bottle and other times about 1/4-1/2. This is a HUGE step for him! In the past he's only been able to take maybe one bottle a day and it's only been about 1/2 at the most, so this is great progress! We're so delighted. We know he can get tuckered out, but at least we know he can do it! He's getting there!!
On a frustrating note, I have a stuffy nose today, so I am home all day. The nurse is getting used to my phone calls. Hopefully it's nothing and I will be fine tomorrow.
As for a Bryan update, he's starting to put 3 words together at a time. It's very cute.

That's great news! Let's say a prayer and ask St. Lucy, Patron Saint of vision, to pray that Luke's vision continues to improve. And of course we need to say big prayer of thanks to Our Lady for her help.

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy! That is so awesome. We can't wait to see him. We'll see you on Sunday so we can all hear the great work of God.
