Brayden had a great weekend. On Friday he was moved to the big boy bed which means he is able to keep is body temperature and no longer needs the incubator. Thanks to some aggressive nurses he now gets all his feedings from the bottle now. He still has the tube just in case he doesn't finish but that usually happens just once a day.
As of today Brayden's weight is 4 lbs 6.5 oz and is 18 inches long.
We are prepping to go home. hopefully in the next week or so. All Brayden has to do is keep his heart rate from dropping below 100 for 5 straight days. As of yet we have not had one successful day but I feel that tomorrow will be a good day.
Thank you to everyone for all your help, books, and gifts. We hope to see you soon!!

It is really great to come in and check on Brayden and see the progress he makes almost daily, everyone at the pharmacy stays tuned daily even on my days off, so many people praying for him and for his mommy, and daddy too. He certainly is a cutie and we couldn't help but to agree that he has Great Grandma Schopieray's nose (we will compare pictures) Aunt Linda and Aunt Janet say hello and send there love to all of you also. take care and keep up the great progress. Love ya's lots Aunt Mabel & Uncle Dan.
