Day 11; Mommy Holds little man!!

Where to begin...to start the day off, little guy was back to his normal routine after a very stressful night of trying to come off the ventilator. Back down to 21% O2 and still using the ventilator, everything was farely normal again. They decided to up his feeds to 3 mL/hr, yet again. This evening, however, we discovered he had gained a whopping 65 grams back! That brings his total weight back up to 905 grams total, or exactly 2 lbs! The nurse on duty also informed mom that she was able to now hold him for a period of 1 hour per day as long as he remained stable throughout the duration of the day. So needless to say, mom has not stopped grinning from ear to ear since she got to hold her precious son in her arms for the first time tonight :). It was nothing short of an amazing sight to see her with the little guy all bundled up in her arms. So all-in-all, a very very productive and different outcome of the day than yesterday, so now mom and dad can go to sleep with nothing but a giant smile on their faces :). Liam you truly are an Amazing gift, this year you have brought us more happiness than we have ever imagined!
