Nicholas continues to do well since our last hospital visit. We had a small scare on Thursday when the heater went out for his vent. The digits would show the correct temperature, but the circuit(tubes) showed otherwise. Nicholas got a little congested, but once the home care RT came at 1am and fixed the problem, Nicholas perked right up and improved greatly.

Nicholas is showing improvement in his ST. He loves tasting lemon swabs and has made some great improvements since the last swallow study.

Please continue to pray for Nicholas and strength for his parents.

We hope that everyone has a blessed Christmas holiday. Please give praise to God for all that we have survived this year. God has been so good to Nicholas. He brought a beautiful life to a couple that had no chance of having children, and he allowed this family to share the miracle of this birth and honor from God to hundreds and even a thousand people. We pray that Nicholas has touched those that needed to hear the present day miracles that God still performs each day.

With all our love,
Alex, Terah, and Nicholas
