Life, in and out of the incubator (August 28)
Lucas get lots of attention, even if he’s not usually awake to appreciate it. Below he visits with his grandmas, gets to hang on Krista’s chest for a couple hours, and reluctantly receives his morning dose of the Washington Post (which usually causes an increase in Lucas’s heart rate, especially when he hears the latest about the health care debate.)
The big news today is that he took his first couple shots of breast milk: 3 milliliters each, 3 hours apart, through a tube in his nose. Go Lucas!

Dear Little Lucas we’re all thinking of you on this beautiful Whidbey Island afternoon. You are in our hearts. XOXONONNA
It’s all I have to bring today
by Emily Dickinson
It’s all I have to bring today
This, and my heart beside
This, and my heart, and all the fields
And all the meadows wide
Be sure you count should I forget
Some one the sum could tell
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.

Drinking milk — great sign! Sent some energy and prayers your way tonight over the Sabbath candles. What is the drill for visiting? And can we bring you guys some meals?

Dear Burke, Krista and Lucas,
Thanks for sharing with us the joy of having Lucas! Thanks for sharing your love, strength and hope as you deal with Lucas’ situation. We are checking your wonderful blog. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are glad that Lucas seems to be doing better every day, he is such as fighter already! And he is really lucky to have you both as parents!
Love,

Burke & Krista-
we are sending lots of love and positive energy to Lucas, and both of you from out here on the west coast. That energy comes from the epicenter of hippie groovy energy (Marin County), so hopefully, Lucas can feel the love!
Lucas is beautiful, and he looks so content in Krista’s arms.
We will keep reading and send love, prayers & energy your way.
Allison, Jim, Ellie, Dane & David Bloom
