PLEASE read!!

I posted a little while ago about an opportunity to help David & Dana out financially...all without a single penny needing to be donated yet.  Danny's school is participating in a recipe contest that could win some significant cash prizes.  To date, we have only received one recipe...but we know there are plenty more of you out there with good recipes or that know someone who is a great cook.  PLEASE share them with us!  The deadline to submit these is very quickly approaching. There is no limit to the number of recipes we can submit...so give us all the good ones you have!  It is required that exact measurements are given (i.e. no "pinch of salt" or "dash of pepper").  Please send your recipes to kregier@hotmail.com with the subject "Recipes for David & Dana" or something similar so that I don't accidentally delete it as junk mail.

Also, sorry there haven't been many updates lately posted to the blog.  Things continue to improve for Henry.  All signs are pointing to the likelihood that the problems he had last week were due to changes in the meds.  Since he has been on many of these meds for the majority of his 4+ week old life, it seems he has developed a little bit of dependency on some of the meds.  The doctors are now needing to figure out how to decrease the meds appropriately without causing withdrawl-like symptoms.  But they are making progress on that every day.  David & Dana are also getting lots of time to hold him...which we couldn't be happier about.  He is doing great with bottle-feedings and they are able to steadily increase his milk intake and therefore decrease the amount of fluids he is receiving through his lines.  He has also been moved to an actual crib!  Dana said that when the nurse came to move his old bed away, Henry cried a little bit...he's become a little attached to that thing!  But he's doing wonderful in the crib and is getting lots of sleep now.  Here's to hoping that he'll be sleeping through the night by the time they get him home (except for the times he needs to be woken for feedings).  

We are praying that the good news continues this week.
