Brayden is continuing to improve everyday. He is up to 13 cc of food every 4 hours and is digesting it really well. I was able to change my first dirty diaper last night of course Jayme turned it down. They are hoping to increase is amount a couple times a day. Next week they are looking to start adding a fatty substance to help bulk him up a little bit faster. He gained a half an ounce today weighing in at a whopping 3 lbs 8.5 ounces.
His doctors are hoping to release him out out of the NICU unit in the next couple of weeks as long as everything keeps going good. Once out of the NICU unit he can either be transported back to our local hospital or moved upstairs at the Children's Hospital in Chicago. Once he is out of the NICU unit it will just be a matter of continuing to gain the weight and us getting use to taking care of a premie. If he stays in Chicago we would be able to have our own private room for bonding.
We are thankful everyday that he is in such great health. After seeing all the scenerios that could have happened and what some of the families are going through we are truly blessed. Thank you for all your prayers and support
Hey Jill it's Kyle. Glad to hear you and the baby are doing well. I'll be in Chicago tomorrow. I'm flying in for Luke's bachelor party of all things. God help us.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I may have a couple hours to kill so I was thinking about stopping in to see you and Brayden. I would love to meet the little guy. So hopefully it works out. I'll give you a call when I get into town. It should be sometime around 10:30. Talk to you soon.
