Jimmie can't wait to see you all!! He'll be there with his big blues eyes and his big smile! (-:

Unfortunately Jimmie has dropped about 7 ozs this past week. He's been sick and not eating well. He is just so skinny. At this point he's so lacking in body fat that he's chilling really easily. Long term concerns over battling low weight for a long period of time center around the development of his organs. He's not needing to be hospitalized or anything, but he does need to do better. He just loses weight so fast and so easily. He is back under 15 pounds again. So they are adding back another tube feed and trying to find a fortifier that doesn't cause Jimmie to puke. Pray that this little tiny guy can put on some fat. Fat prayers are what we need! If you've followed Jimmie from the beginning you'll remember those! (-:

Thank you for praying!

Love,
Amber
