Tuesday Morning Update

This morning we got to talk with Kerri on the phone instead of the nurse. Things are getting better everyday. Kerri has some energy now, and is working on sitting in a chair. She is hopeful to score a wheelchair soon and start making visits to the NICU. The rash itches still, but we didn't hear Kerri complain.

Ansel had a good night, is settled into his new home - the isolet. When first laid down, he looked around a little, then went to sleep. Vitals look good on the cpap. Today, he may get his first meal. A tiny bit of formula will be given through the NG tube, that goes through his nose to his stomach.

While Ansel was moving into the isolet, Cody held his new baby for the first time. Removing the vent yesterday allows holding, feeding, isolet placement. Truly a milestone.

Clicking on a picture will enlarge it some.

Kerri, Cody, and baby Ansel,

All of us at Schreiber Foods thought it was about time that we posted a message for all of you. We have been checking and re-checking the blog on a daily basis for updates and are SO thrilled to see the progress that both Kerri and Ansel are making. What a miracle both of you are. It is just amazing what all of you and your families have gone though and we just want you to know you have all been in our thoughts and prayers every step of the way. Thanks so much for posting the pictures, we were so happy to see Ansel and his mommy and daddy finally together as I'm sure each of you were as well. Keep being strong and know that there are many people here thinking of you and sending you well wishes. Take Care.

Hey sis!
So glad that you are doing better and that you were finally able to see your baby! Thanks to your in-laws for setting this up so we can get updates (and I can see pics of my little nephew!) Love you, and we'll see you Saturday if all goes well. Take care!

Kerri, I just heard about the news from an email from Roya. I hope you even remember me. It's Heather Andelin (barlow now) from Springfield. I am glad to hear that things are going okay. I'm sure that was scary. I will keep you and your baby in my prayers. Hang in there. Having a child is the best thing I've ever done. And this will all be worth it when you can spend more time with your beautiful son!
