Graduating to "big boy beds"!!!


Both boys with the beds side by side
Brett (pictured above) Gantt (pictured below)


So the boys were moved to bassinettes. (a.k.a. "big boy beds" by the nurses)  Brett is back on food and Gantt will have his feeding tube taken out today.  Both boys are doing great and really seem to like their new home.  

They were moved from Pod A to Pod C and it is a lot better for us as a family.  The two boys can be pulled side by side and Jennifer can pull a curtain all the way around for privacy.  If you watched the video from previous posts, you noticed the boys were next to each other, but could not be pulled side by side.  The biggest benefit is that Jennifer can have Brett nearby to give him his pacifier while she is feeding Gantt.  Jennifer had a great day with the boys!

The next step for Brett is to wait another 6 weeks so he can have surgery again.  Once they reattach his intestines, they will begin his feeds again.  The doctors cannot give him enzymes to help his CF until he is getting all his full feedings from a bottle.  Please pray for his continued growth and progress.
