Hello and greetings to you all and welcome to the first day of Spring.

We have little news to report today. Mom and baby are stable. Rebecca dressed today rather than spend it in PJs, even called her boss and did some work. We were let out of the room for :30 minutes, and we took advantage of it. Though the weather was not ideal, we did a lap or two around the hospital's first floor and spent some time chatting in one of the cafeterias.

Xavier made the nurse work to get his monitoring in today. The nurse stayed the whole thirty minutes and held the monitor in place. All his vitals look good. I borrowed a marker from the nurses' station and wrote his weekly goals on the white board in our room, under the heading of "Goals for discharge:" For next Tuesday (week 25) his goal is to grow and gain 2 ounces. Of course, we are encouraging him to do more.

I don't think I mentioned it yesterday, but the uric acid that showed up in Rebecca's blood a few days ago has disappeared. This is good and praise report.

We had an impromptu visit today. A couple returning to Fort Collins from Colorado Springs called and asked if they could stop by. We enjoyed the visit.

Thank you all for your prayers. They are the greatest of gifts. Great is our God!
