Hi Everyone-
Ben has been great about posting and updating on baby Brian, so I thought I would take a turn. He is doing really well. Yesterday he was up to 3 pounds 4 ounces, so he's gaining weight slowly, which is wonderful! They have him off the IV completely and he is up to the full amount of food for his weight. So, now he only has his oxygen meter on his foot and the 3 monitors on his chest to check for his heart rate and breathing. It's nice to see the tubes coming off of him. Each day he looks better and better. The jaundice is gone after just one day under the photo-lights. We have been able to hold him more during each of his feedings and it's hard to put him back in his isolette each time. But the more he sleeps and is left alone, the faster his body can help him keep growing and getting stronger so we can take him home. We don't know when that is yet, but with how well he has been doing this past week it could be sooner than later. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers- we really appreciate it! Enjoy some more pictures of our cute son! Sorry if some of them are blurry - they keep his room pretty dark so it's hard to get really good pictures.
