Mommy Update (Dad is resting)


I know a lot of you have been asking Jose about my condition, and I am doing great. I am still a little sore but nothing half as bad as what Joshua must be feeling (with his little battle scar). His numbers were great today, the doctors told us they are better then what they expected. They are very surprised on how good he is doing based on how bad they expected him to be when he was first born. ECMO is almost out of the question, the doctors are already discussing about taking us out of the critical room (“V.I.P Room” Daddy likes to say) and putting Joshua in the pod with all the other kiddos. So… that’s a good thing, if we move out that is just one step further to going home. JOSHUA DID POOP! Maybe not so exciting news for everyone but for us this is WONDERFUL NEWS! Today is his 10th day in the world and his first day to poop, this is a big step for us.
The only bad news the doctors just gave us this evening was about visitors. The doctors informed us for the next couple of days they would recommend us to keep Joshua to minimum visitors of immediate family members only, since he is still recovering from surgery. I know some of you are waiting as I myself can’t wait for you to meet Joshua, but I will give you the A-Okay as soon as the doctors clear him to have more visitors.
I am very thankful to have so many friends and family members who care so much about me and my new little bundle of joy. Thank you so much for all of the prayers we are receiving from everyone and we ask them to please continue.

  2. I'm so glad the hear that joshua is doing GREAT! He is such a strong boy. I can't wait to see him so I can hold him and give those cheeks a big kiss. Joshua is only 10-days old and he has no idea how lucky and blessed he is to have such great parents like yall. Jose and Melissa Yall are doing such a fantastic job with everything. I will keep him in my prayers. Love yall!
