Caleb is starting to fill his skin!


What an awesome day!

Caleb was moved into the part of NICU for stable babies! He has graduated!

Today they moved his feedings to 17 cc's and he weighed...drum roll please...3lbs 5oz! WOW!

Since he is doing so well they will increase the amount of mommas milk he is fed through the feeding tube and they will decrease what they are administering through the I.V.

Please pray against these apnea episodes where he forgets to breath and his heart rate drops. He does it a couple of times a day and he always recovers from it himself. We pray that God would heal him completely of that.

Really big news for Jayce and Kallie today, they were able to hold their little brother for the first time. They loved it.

Bonus Chisum family news, Kallie lost her first tooth today! In an attempt to knock it loose she shot it with Jayce's nerf gun and by golly it worked. We are praying that God will use our strong willed prayer princess for his glory. She doesn't mess around.

Today Jayce and I were riding in the truck together and Jayce had the idea to look up verses in the bible that corresponded with Caleb's birth weight 2lbs 14 oz...example Luke 2:14, Ephesians 2:14, you get the idea. So we wanted to share a few of those because we thought they were pretty cool.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests

Luke 2:14

A Very Blessed Man,

Jeff

p.s. We are trying to get updated photos soon to document all the current goings on! Thank you for your love and your prayers.

  2. What great news for Caleb! He is such a little fighter, I think he may give Kallie a run for her money! I really enjoyed seeing him yesterday. I put the pictures on a disc for you! Praying for more miracles!
