Newest Update

Journal entry by Mitch Block

Benjamin dropped a little lower to 5lbs 11oz and has lost 7% of his body weight, agin this is normal and they don't get conceded until he has lost 10%.

Our little Ben gained a superhero mask and some special lights today in honor of only 14 more days until the Incredibles 2 hits theaters. His bilirubin is too high this morning so he has to be under these lights for hopefully only 24 hours. Pray his levels come down quick and that he tolerates not being held/ swaddled as well as the nasty lights! (And maybe pray for mom and dad too as this is kinda hard just to have to sit and stare at him and not be able to hold him)
