Koa is doing good

So today Koa seemed to still be getting better. Today he was able to start getting breast milk so that was a great step forward. courtnie has been able to hold him for 3 days in a row, she is supper happy about that. The lab work came back and Koa has an infection that is being treated. So we pray that it will go away. He seems to be growing pretty good. He is 13.5 inches long and is about 2 lbs 2oz. But other than the infection in his lungs he seems to be doing good. So we will just keep praying that Koa gets stronger and that the infection clears up.
we thank all of you for your prayers and support.
we thank god for every day we have had with Koa and ask God to strengthen him so we can have more days with Koa in the future.
Thanks again and we love all of you.
Koa, Courtnie and Jeremiah Bachert

Jeremiah, Courtney and Koa-

I am excited Koa is growing well. That breast milk sure does help.. heck any formula will help him grow.
It's sad he has the infection but it sounds like you caught it early on and hopefully it isn't to serious. I know anything is serious when he's so small though. We will pray he heals up from the infection in no time at all and continue to pray for your strength and for little Koa.
Thinking of you lots and sending our love-

Niki, Dave and Zack

That is quite a milestone that Koa is taking breastmilk now. You know that is just like medicine for a premature baby. Wonderful! Take care - Jan
