Update on Timothy

Timothy - 2 months old
10 lbs. 8 oz.

Timothy turned 2 months old last week and we had a very exciting Xray!! (Still no fluid in his chest cavity even with him eating now)!!! We were so very thankful and relieved - we are hoping so much that this means the leak has hopefully healed. He is still slowly continuing to eat more and more formula every day, which is making him feel so much more happy and content these days, although the poor thing is having quite the time with spitting up, throwing up, reflux, etc. (all that fun stuff) during the actual eating process... We're sure his body needs time to adjust to food inside of it once again... He has also been having troubles with a weird stridor noise that he's been making, and is most likely going to have to have a bronchoscopy done sometime this week to find out what is causing it. We are hoping and praying it's not another serious issue! But for now we are just so thankful that all is going well in relation to the chylothorax and that from the looks of things, he will not need surgery!! Thank you to everyone for all your constant prayers, love, and support! :)

I can't believe how much you managed to update all in one day... so glad to see fun pictures and read what you guys have been up to in the last month or two, and see how Timothy's doing. We're SO glad that things are going relatively well for him, and that he's getting to start eating again! What a good-natured little guy to put up with all of this and still have so many smiles...

Oh, that is wonderful news. He is such a sweet/cute boy. We'll continue praying for the little guy and his poor mother.

Wow! Many updates. I love it. You have had quite the business in your neck of the woods. I hope that you all are holding together as well as you look. Even baby Timothy is seeming to improving. I am so glad that he is eating now and will hopefully continue to be eating. I also hope that the strider is no big deal. We will keep you in our prayers. Enjoy your time with your little ones!
