Collier's red blood count is still a little too high. Therefore, we are not able to leave tomorrow as we had hoped. This is not a serious issue, but it will take a couple more days to get it down to acceptable levels. He is also a difficult eater; it takes some extra effort to get him to suck. But praise God, he took his 6 & 9 pm feedings from a bottle and not a feeding tube!
Even in my tired, blood-shot eye state, I am praising God for all His goodness!
I want to give out a special thanks to our family and "The Gang" for all they have done for us. We could not do this without you! You are the best and we are so humbled by your acts of love and kindness.
Thanks also to all of you who have posted comments. WE ARE READING ALL OF THEM EACH DAY! They are a source of laughter, joy, encouragement and love. We are so grateful to all of you!
Most of all, all thanks, honor and praise to our loving God...from whom ALL blessings flow! We are so undeserving of His love, yet He continues to pour it out on us and we are in awe of HIM.
At the end of the day, this pic says it all!

Congratulations! You both are just beeming with pride! :) I didn't think Robbie could have looked any happier on Tuesday when we saw her at the clinic, but I was wrong! We hope Collier keeps improving and you are back home quickly!!

I'm so excited for the two of you! You all have been on my heart constantly since Collier's arrival. I can't wait to hear about all the adventures that God takes you on with this precious baby. Collier doesn't know how incredibly blessed he is to have you as parents, but one day he will!! I'm praying for you all.
