Donations

I wanted to extend my thanks to all those who have helped us over the last three months. Had it not been for your generosity, we would not have survived. And most importantly, we would not have been able to be by Biggun's side. There are no words that can express how much it means to me that I was given that opportunity.

Our situation is not nearly as dire as it was. We still take it day by day and manage our money very carefully. Hike for Heroes recently assisted us by putting $2000 directly towards bills we owed, which was a huge relief for us.

If you are still interested in helping or donating, we most definitely need items to gear up for Biggun coming home. There are certain things we still need such as a baby swing, bouncer, walker, bottles, diapers, wipes, and any/all sorts of baby clothes. He is currently wearing 0-3 months.

Donations can still be done the same way - You can go to www.paypal.com and donate to the email rachelxkeslar@gmail.com. You can also go to any CHASE bank and put in a deposit to Joshua Daniel Keslar. Any questions you might have can be sent to the rachelxkeslar@gmail.com email address.

Again, thank you for all your support. You kept us alive and by our baby's side. I cannot thank you enough for that.

Graduated

So Biggun was moved to the intermediate nursery on Sunday. If we had any worry that it was too soon, we were relieved of that today!
He has graduated to an open crib, which means no more staring at him through glass! His temperature is a little low, but he should acclimate to it without issue in no time!
He also hasn't had a single desat, brady, or apnea episode! He had his oxygen tube removed and is officially on room air! They can put it back on it he needs it, but he seems to be ready to grow!
He is gaining 30-50 grams a day, so his weight is really picking up. They are giving him 32 ml of breast milk fortified with prolactive to make it higher in calories.
I've been in Utah seeing my two older boys this week, so Biggun decided he needed to get big and strong before I got back.
He still has issues with nippling, and he has minor desats when he's eating because he has not yet mastered the suck, swallow breathe routine yet, but he's learning fast.
Dr. Moshfeghi came by today. I wasn't able to speak with him personally, but he made it clear that he was very pleased with the progress and he felt really good about Biggun's progress.

Keep the prayers up! They are working!

Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
