Cohen has been off of his oxygen and air tubes for 24 hours!!! Yea!! We were able to bottle feed him a little again this morning and he took about 10CC's and we did the rest through the tube. We are still just sort of waiting for more news. I think it will be a few days before we really have anymore answers or ideas as to what the immediate future hold.
Cohen's great grandparents are coming today so that will be fun!
I'll try to let you know more info as the day goes on. It looks like Chris and I will most likely be going home tomorrow. Chris ran home today to see Cort so that will be good. I am not looking forward to how it will feel to leave Cohen here.
Off to feed Cohen in the NICU. Check in later. Em

It has been sooo awesome to read the updates and to see this wonderful miracle unfold right before us! We have been sharing your story with our family so that everyone will hear the incredible testimony of what God has done and is continuing to do in the life of baby Cohen. We are praising God for this gift He has given you and our entire church.

Chris and Emily,
We've been checking constantly for updates and want you to know we're praying and rejoicing for you, and asking other believers to do so as well. Cohen is beautiful and a true miracle from our amazing God!
With our prayers,
Anne and Bradley Smith
God is good ALL the time. I am Amanda Lawson's mother and she has shared your journey with me. I will continue to pray for Cohen's health and strength. Our family has been through the same circumstances. Hang in there and pray, pray, pray.
In Love, Nancy Miller
Emily and Chris, we had to leave Walker and Elizabeth behind as we went home empty handed from the hospital after both births. We will be praying for you guys as you face that lonely drive and trust that God will continue to show Himself to you as He did for us! It was a concrete reminder right from the get-go that they belong to Him! NOT that you haven't already experienced that!(:
We are celebrating STILL with a depth of awe I need to feel daily but somehow miss until a miracle like this blows me away! God is GOOD and His mercy lasts forever!
He loves us so!

Chris and Emily, Praise the Lord for he is good and his love endures forever! Mike and I have been praying and just rejoicing in the reminder of how amazing God's love is for us, how powerful he is and how faithful he is!!!! We remember the NICU days. We are praying that God would continue to give you the strength and peace and JOY through every minute. Praying that this first night away will be full of rest and Peace! I remember leaving the NICU the first night and it was so hard but I was so amazed that I slept that night. I woke up rested and then felt guilty that I wasn't there with Caleb - I know now that God wants us to trust him and he wanted me to have to lean even further on him. Wow! Thank you for letting this awesome experience strenghen our faith in our Lord and encourage us to share this joy with so many others! Praise God! Colleen and Mike Haubert
Emily and Chris,
Cohen is a true miracle. God gave him to you because you are such so awesome and have such a special gift, as I witnessed everyday in the classroom with you. He is so adorable, you are all in my prayers.
