(Gwen gives the same kisses to Beck that her forehead gave to a couch's hard plastic armrest)The BeckMan is doing great and so is our family. Things are quite busy with the little guy progressing so quickly. He is now on the general pediatric floor and learning to eat and do the things that babies do. It is so much fun to hold and cuddle him now that his lines and chords have been greatly reduced. He is down to a PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) Line and a NG (naso-gastric) tube. He also seems to be much more comfortable being held and even prefers it, which nobody is complaining about. Well nobody besides Gwen who has about a 2 minute Beckham limit, though she loves spending time with him a few times during the day and even says "Beeb bee" when attempting to say his name.
While we don't have a date, we may be able to take him home sooner than later. Considering what he has been through he is doing absolutely amazing...your thoughts and prayers have helped him and our family through what has been an incredible ride. I guess I should say that it continues to be such a ride, but with higher highs and less lows.
Con Amor,
Nate, Kim, Gwen, and Señor Beckhamo
