Update on Lane Rigge from Caring Bridge site on
Our little Lane has been making great progress, steadily gaining weight an ounce or so at a time. As of Last night he weighted in at 6 lbs. He is on number 9 of his 10 epo shots. Hopefully they worked and getting his body to create more red blood cells. Fingers crossed we don't have to do another round of those. Both Lane and Mom hate them... he continues to wear the small cannula at 1/2 L. He just hasn't grown strong enough to keep his breathing and heart rate steady and out of the alarm range on his monitor. Wednesday afternoon he tried using a bottle for the 1st time and did well. His bottle is tiny amd measures in CC instead of ounces like those pirchased in the store, it was made for babies just his size. He is able to drink 9 to 22 cc on his own before tiring out, the rest is then given through his gavagu. He has graduated to 54cc every 3 hours with trying to bottle at every other feeding. We will continue to keep everyone posted on his progress, it may be a few days between posts since he is doing so well. Thank you all for your continued prayers, cards, gifts, texts, and phone calls it means a lot to us to have so much love and support from our family and friends.

Today the Sunday School youth made their annual Resurrection Rolls during  Sunday School (marshmallow-Jesus, melted butter-oils, cinnamon & sugar-spices, crescent rolls-white cloth and the oven-tomb....when we opened the tomb after they were baked the marshmallow was gone-Jesus had risen). They also did a lesson using the resurrection eggs. Each egg has a symbol from the Easter story and a little reading to go along with each one.
