Getting closer

Taevin got a 5 day dose of antibiotic and the chest x-ray came back normal. Good signs and one step closer to going home. He is also eating all on his own so the NG tube is out! Taevin is now 7 lbs 14 oz and gaining, he even looks for extra food after he's feeding is over. What a little piggy!!

If all goes well we will be able to go home on Tuesday or Wednesday. Damian came up after work today and we will do all the necessary training in preparation to get out of here. We have to take CPR, watch some videos on car seats and shaken baby, go over his medications, learn to care for his incision and the proper way to hold him until his sternum is healed. Damian also has to learn to feed him and how to thicken the breast milk.

Here's Taevin in his big boy bed.

Taevin is one month old. It is hard to believe it has been a month already! What a crazy month, looking back I am so grateful that we have made it to this point. It has been such a long road and has been full of so much stress and worries. I thank the lord every day for getting us through the past month. I also want to thank all of you for your prayers, thoughts, love and support!

One month old!
