Kathryn here -
I was able to visit Toby very early Saturday morning. He greeted me with eager blinks and seemed very aware. The nurses informed Dad and I that Toby was very much a night baby, and tended to be awake for them. They sounded happy about that, but Mom was not quite as happy, since that will be indicative of his schedule once released from the hospital. As I said, he was very aware. He kept trying to look around and locate the voices. The nurse also told us that he had not experienced any post-surgical swelling, and none of his settings for the respirator had needed to be changed at that point. So, his recovery is going extremely well.
The chest x-ray did indicate that there were some problems in the right lung which needed to be treated. However, it was explained that this was fairly standard for babies that young after they have had surgery. Supposedly, he is going to be put back on milk, either yesterday or today. Overall, things are going well!
A Brief Introduction
This blog follows the life of one Tobias, who was born in the 25th week of pregnancy. Despite his minuscule size, Toby has already amassed a great number of people who care about him, his health, and his family. It is our hope that this blog will keep those caring people updated on all the particulars and praises.
There are two main contributors:
Nancy - is Tobias' mother. It is she who actually knows what is going on, and thus will make most of the updates.
Kathryn (ymryson) - Toby's sister, mostly here for technical backup, though she tends to chime in from time to time.
Thank you all for your love and support. We truly appreciate the care and concern you have shared with us during this time.

I have been following the amazing story of Tobias. Yesterday at church pastor talked about how God choses to use the weak and the humble to proclaim His glory. Tobias, in your one short month you have done just that. How many people have heard about the loving, mighty God that we love and know your parents love because of you. You, your parents and brothers and sisters are in my prayers. Praise God for this little life.
Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes. They are greatly appreciated. - Kathryn
