This past Sunday Toby was moved from his Incubator/Isolette into an open crib. The doctor wanted to do a “trial run” and see if Toby would tolerate being able to maintain his own body temperature. Toby’s done great and there are actually times when his temperature runs a little hot (which is normal with all the clothes & blankets the nurses keep on him.) When he’s in his crib, the nurses bundle him up even more to keep him toasty warm.

As a bonus being in an open crib, we were able to dress Toby in his first outfit. We thought it was only fitting that it be the outfit Lucy purchased the day before she passed away. It’s still a little big, but we think Toby looks fabulous. He is now 4 lbs., 6.1 oz. and getting 38 mL of milk in each bottle feeding.

   Mark — Toby looks very handsome and looks like he is doing well. I am sure you are a proud Dad. Thanks so much for your friendship over the past four years. I look back fondly on the Development of the Bankruptcy Courthouse and all of the great friends I made during the experience. It is rare that you can mix business and fellowship to such a high level, but I think that is a testimony to all of the great people that were involved in the project.

   Have a Blessed Holiday,
