Luke and RJ got Kelly a Mother's Day card and flowers this morning. I presented them to her on their behalf, naturally. I knew if they could, they would have showered her with kisses and hugs, so I did that too. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms reading this blog! Your support means so much to us.

Although this is not how we pictured our First Mother's Day going, we will treat it as the very very special a day it is. Luke is with us here, at RJ's bedside, as we celebrate the venerable institution of Motherhood.

RJ is chugging right along (literally chugging...the oscillator sounds like a miniature train minus the whistle). His heartbeat is solid, they are slowly weaning him off the oscillator because he is breathing so well, and his weight is up! Whether the weight increase is due to fluid retention remains to be seen, but he is up to 620 grams. He is still resting, recovering from his surgery.

I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day, and thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Happy Mothers Day Kelly. Looking forward to celebrating many more with you and RJ.
He is such a special gift from God. I look forward to the holidays our families will share and the memories these cousins will make together.
So much love to you and Mo and little man RJ.

My thoughts go out to both of you... may your love and strength help each other and RJ continue fighting through this battle. He is obviously a little fighter, so may he continue on his journey of becoming healthier and stronger each day. I can't imagine the pain of losing Luke, but he is there with all of you, supporting you and watching over RJ.
