After 13 days in the hospital (as of tomorrow), Michael and Mommy may be heading home! The doctors all agree that Michael has improved dramatically and has outgrown his breathing condition. They are continuing to monitor him tonight and tomorrow, but if his monitor download tomorrow is still as great as it has been...they will send us home!
This is very exciting news and Mommy & Daddy are very happy. Michael is so smart already. If we stick out our tongue at him, he will mimic the action and after a few seconds he sticks out his tongue. He loves to look at our faces and coos as we hold him. There is nothing like it, he's just amazing. (All you mothers and fathers out there know what I'm talking about.) :)
Michael is doing great with all his feedings. He is sometimes fussy, as babies tend to be. But, for the most part he does extremely well. He is the best eater in the NICU...all the nurses are impressed. He has also gained some good weight too! Michael now weighs 8 lbs 3 oz, compared to 13 days ago when he was born at 7 lbs 10 oz.
Thought I'd give a quick update on Michael, since I skipped yesterday. Will post more pictures, and hopefully they will be from home this time!! Love to all!
