Dear Friends and Family:

A short recap of the day.....

Claude did the afternoon touch time and we both went tonight. Emory is doing about the same. Over the course of last night and this afternoon, he messed up several pieces of clothing and his brand new blanket that Mrs. Misty got for him.....so Mommy is already doing laundry for him. This afternoon, he also pulled his feeding tube out and they put another one in.

From what we understand, the blood Claude gave will be at the hospital some time this weekend. It will go to their lab, be placed in the appropriate tubes, labeled, and then Emory will receive his transfusion. They took out the iv that was used for the antibiotics as well. He is still taking 4 feedings a day through the bottle and 4 through the tube. They are lessening the amount of sodium chloride (salt) he receives in a day as well. He has gained some weight and is up to 7 pounds 12 ounces.

Pretty much the same routine right now. Please still keep us in your prayers and especially for little Emory to eat more so he can come home.

Blessings,

Twila
