Zane Ethan Barker is one week old today. In some ways it seems that we have been here forever and in others it is hard to believe that we have been here 11 days. Zane is doing well the drainage has slowed down quite a bit and his lungs continue to do very well.
We have been very excited by the strides that he has already made but we are reaching a point where things are going to slow down. The Dr. today said that it may take several weeks for his body to get to where he can process milk from Laurie, they tried giving him some Monday evening but he could not digest it. So it looks like for now he will continue to get his nutrition from the IV.
Santa and Mrs. Clause visited the NICU today and Zane had his picture taken with them. The apartment will be ready for us this afternoon and I will move a few things today and we will move in tomorrow.

God is Good! Zane is such a precious baby! We're happy everyday to read of his progress. Even a small amount of progress is good. Any idea when he will get to come home to Junction? We're all looking forward to that day. He's very lucky to have you both for parents. Sending you our love and prayers. Mike and Betty Leep
No idea on when we can bring him home but the minimum will be his due date of January 22nd. We are very thankful for all the prayers.
Jim and Laurie -
We continue to check your blog for updates on Zane and are so encouraged by his progress. Is there anything we can do for you?
How are you fixed for food?

Hi Martha, we move into the apartment tomorrow and I will make a run to HEB. We have been eating out while we have been living in McCord but we are looking forward to cooking some. When you are downtown please stop and see us. Georgia and Bill both have my cell phone number please feel free to call if you want.
