Hayden is a BIG BOY!

Good afternoon! Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th weekend!!

Our little big man is now up to 7 lbs 12 oz and a little over 20 in. long!!! He’ll be big enough to ride roller coasters before we know it!!

Unfortunately, Hayden was too tired to stay on the nasal canula, but is still on 4 peep (nasal prongs/CPAP). Hopefully, after he rests, they will put him back on the canula next week...whenever he is ready! His little organs, muscles, and brain have had to work twice as hard with only ½ the developmental time, so they get pretty tired easily!

GUESS WHAT??? Hayden is in his OWN CRIB at the NICU!!! He is big and well enough to stay in his big-boy bed!! Lisa went out right away to get him his own mobil and other necessities; she and Dustin both are so proud of their little fighter!!

On another good note, the ROP surgery (to prevent blindness) has worked!!

Hopefully the protein levels in his brain will decrease so Drs can put Hayden’s shunt in and he will be able to COME HOME!!!! Please keep praying and visiting, the whole family appreciates it!!! Thanks to Grandma Susan for visiting today, Hayden loves to see you!

Love to everyone!!

P.s. Don’t forget about the upcoming showers!!!
