Baby “Fix”

Kay Lynne and I had another chance yesterday to see our fourth grandchild and to get our baby “fix” that may or may not last through the weekend. We had been in baby “withdrawal” since we first saw him on Tuesday. That’s KL with Nathan in the above photo, taken by Dad Doug. You can click on it for a larger image.

The little guy continues to do very well and is now taking nourishment both by I.V. and by bottle (mom’s “special” formula). He’s doing so well, in fact, that his condition has been upgraded to allow his move early yesterday from “neo-natal intensive care” to the “special infant care unit” (SICU) on a different floor. We thank God for His abundant grace.

The pic above is of the Koskela boys (minus one), taken yesterday in Nathan’s new hood. Wish we could have had Gregg there for the pic, but that will happen in due time. Nathan looks like he’s sleeping, but he was really whispering to Grandpa and his dad about the particular kind of fishing pole that he wants for his first birthday. Anybody know how to “downsize” a fishing rod?

Mom Jamie is gaining strength daily, as she recovers from delivery and four MONTHS of bed rest. She and Doug now spend the greater part of each day with Nathan at the hospital. Nothing new on when Nathan can come home – maybe in three or four weeks.

Time now for Grandpa and Grandma to go look at pictures of grandkids.
