Happy Easter! Alexander has been doing great. We moved from the CICU to the CCU Saturday. The CCU is a step down unit and great news that things are getting better and one step closer to going home! Our main issue now is feeding. Alex prefers sleeping over eating most of the time. Maybe his big brother can teach him some things about eating! He will be getting a circumcision today and a few follow up tests. If things don't pick up with his feeds we may have to go home with a NG tube which goes from his nose to stomach to make sure he's getting enough calories. Mommy and Daddy are really hoping to lose that accessory before going home. Thanks so much for the continued thoughts and prayers for our little peanut.

Following Alexander's Journey has been like having a window to the wonders of birth, medicine and love. You little guy may be a peanut in size but he is Alexander the Conqueror in everything else. His doctors have performed the miracles of modern medicine. His nursing and support staff share the love they have for all of their little fighters. Big brother Ben, in just a few photos, has demonstrated joy, concern/ compassion, and love just by looking at him. And you, Erica and Bobby, with your amazing bond, courage, hope, openess and above all love is inspiring. All four of you absolutely glow with love and happiness in the Happy Easter picture. Love it. Prayers continue. God bless all of you.
