This picture was taken on Monday evening.Oh, the joy of holding your own little one in your arms! Marvin and Hannie can’t get enough! Today Opa and Oma Bos visited and there was Hannie, strolling around with her dear baby Gerad in her arms! Later on she came into the room and walked over to the crib, but baby Gerad was not there….but laying safely and contently in his fathers arms in the chair!
Feeding is still difficult, but the doctor said this afternoon that that is quite normal for a baby like Gerad and it could take up to four weeks before that is better.
If all goes like it is, they might be coming home the beginning of next week!!!! Gerad will come home with his feeding tube and tonight Marvin was being taught how to put a feeding tube into Gerad’s nose. For the first while after they come home, there will be a nurse that will come every day to see how things are going, gradually reducing the times she comes. Until his next surgery alot can change, but they want to wait it out as long as possible so Gerad can mature and grow stronger!
What shall I render unto the LORD

Hi Marvin and Hannie
What a great feeling-knowing that you all may be going home soon! It's been a long haul for all of you, mom, dad, and babe especially! I think of you often, and look forward to new updates on the blog. I've enjoyed looking at the pictures too, watching Gerad heal and grow. Hopefully you all have a good weekend, with no setbacks for Gerad. Keep on keeping on!!
