8-31-09 Kai update - FIRST STEPS for SAGE!!!

Jared and I went to visit Kai today and he is doing really well. They haven't fed him through the tube since yesterday. In fact, he actually pulled the tube out and they're going to leave it out unless he absolutely will not eat.

They are also weaning Kai to a crib through the night and into tomorrow. Essentially, they turn down the temperature in his isolette at each feeding until it matches the room temperature. The room temperature in there is actually pretty chilly at about 70 degrees. By tomorrow evening, he should be in a regular crib. We're praying he's strong enough to maintain his own temperature. =)

It sounds like he may get to come home this week!

In other news, Sage took his first steps last night!!! Hooray! Darla and I were sitting on the couch. Sage's leap frog table was in the middle of the floor and Sage was standing next to me. He turned around to face the table, took two steps and held onto the table! Such a big boy. Can't wait to see more...
