and here he is-
with his new image.
Toby has begun gaining weight again this week. He had been at a bit of a standstill after surgery, but is making up for lost time. Today the official numbers were 2 pounds 12 ounces- up about three ounces from last week. His official length is now 15 inches, significantly above the 12 1/4 he began at. The extra weight really shows in his face; his arms and legs remain quite long and spindly. I think that's why the clothes make him look so different.
Two steps forward and one step back describes his relationship with the ventilator. He had made some progress but lost ground because of poor blood gasses. He has continued to have a few problems today with maintaining the proper oxygen level. It may just be a matter of his lungs needing more time to develop.
It is amazing to me to compare the current photos with the older ones and see how far God has brought him. We can only watch and marvel at His goodness and the quality of His workmanship.

Nancy, although I've thought of you often, it just dawned on me that I have not contacted you and let you KNOW that I continue to care and pray for you and Toby! Being busy is NO excuse and I'm sorry! This has got to be a VERY special child and God cares so deeply. I know it must be a wonder to watch what He is doing each day! I pray you are well soon and that God gives grace to trust Him with each day He so miraculously gives. Know we love you! Gayle
