sweet baby!

We are so thankful for every one's prayers! It is so evident God was working in this little guys body before he was born, preparing him to come early.

Lots has been happening in this little guys world! He is feeding tube free, eating from a bottle at every feeding. Praise God! Leo is now in a bassinet, not the isolette. He gets to wear lots of cute clothes to keep warm :) And this little hefty guy is up to a whopping 4lbs 8oz!

Initially, we thought Leo would be in the hospital for a minimum of 4 weeks. However, he is doing so great that he could possibly come home on Sunday! Leo will take his car seat test on Thursday. He will have to sit in his car seat for 1 hour and not have any dips in his heart rate during that 1 hour span.
If he does not have any apnea (meaning he will stop breathing for a short period of time) episodes he should come home Sunday. If he has an episode he will come home with a monitor and maybe some medicine.

We appreciate your continued partnership in prayer. Please keep Leanne, Ryan, and Leo in your prayers. Please pray for:

• Continued growth and health for Leo
• Leo to come home on Sunday
• Leo to pass his car seat test
• Leo to be apnea free
• Wisdom for the Dr's as they make decisions about Leo
• The tumor to keep shrinking
• Wisdom for Leanne's Dr's as they make treatment decisions for Leanne at next weeks appt.
• Peace for Leanne and Ryan as they prepare for Leo to come home

Now for what you really want, more Leo!
