Resting up (Oct. 3)
This morning we found out that it was in fact an infection that was ailing Lucas on Friday… but not a bad one. It seems likely that the little fella has a urinary tract infection that also affected his digestive system (preemies are so little that infections rarely remain localized). The good news is that he’s already seen the worst of it and now just needs to rest up a few days so that he can get back to his feeding routine.
Saturday consisted mostly of Lucas sleeping, but he seemed to sleep especially peacefully when being read to by Gramma Susan, who also got to hold Lucas for a while. Tomorrow we’re off for the day to our good friend’s wedding (actually they’re getting “domestically partnered” just like us – congratulations Max and Jess!) and so Susan will get to spend a lot more time reading to Lucas.
We’ve posted a lot of pictures of Lucas on this blog over the past 6 weeks but we finally decided to put some of our favorites on a flickr page. Check ’em out below.

Dear Lucas and family,
I have been introduced to you and encouraged to visit your blog through my aunt, Julie Graves. As I look at your beautiful pictures I am overwhelmed with emotion. I am humbled by your spirit and inspired by your strength. The light your life has brought to us all makes this world a better place. The love your family so freely convey in your pictures and writing is a beautiful gift you allow us on the outside to witness.
I feel a deep connection to you and your family from my own NICU experience. I am touched by the beauty and grace you maintain as you face the many trials that have been forced upon you. I celebrate with you the many challenges that you have already conquered. Know that through the rough days, scary nights, quiet afternoons and monumental mornings your are in the thoughts and hearts of people who wish to support and carry you through it all.
Love,
Allison Guild

You have been through a rough couple of days. I am glad that they’ve figured out the problem and got right on fixing it. And I’m glad Lucas is recovering. So scary though for sure.
