Kathy and I went to Winston, yesterday, to visit Landon, take Jeremiah out to eat, and pick up Roger and Ezekiel.

Landon is doing very well. He is bright, alert, cooing, looking at his hands and other people's faces. He really enjoyed his visit from Roger and Ezekiel.

Landon has been moved to the intermediate care ward. He is in a larger room with two or three babies and one nurse. He has been placed in a crib instead of the incubator. This is a better environment. I think that has something to do with how happy he seems to be.

Jeremiah and Shelly are doing most of the TPN line changes, administering medications, feeding, and diaper changes. As you can see, the line changes must be done in a sterile environment to avoid any line infections. They have learned how to set up the pumps and how to change the settings, if necessary. Jeremiah is always checking the TPN solution to make sure that the correct medicines have been added to the TPN. They have increased the glucose in the TPN. Hopefully this will help him gain weight. We will be waiting for the results of his blood work, next week. Hopefully his bilirubin levels have not gone up and have decreased. If they have gone up we will begin making arrangements to take him to Boston.

Jeremiah and Shelly won a "Build-A-Bear", for Ezekiel, playing bingo at the Ronald McDonald House. Ezekiel wanted to show Landon the bear.

Roger and Ezekiel came home to spend the weekend with us. For those that don't know, we live in the mountains of NC and have a trout stream that runs through our property. They stocked the stream with trout last week so we are going fishing today.
