Well, here we are, Monday the 22nd and still in the hospital. Tonight will be our eighth night in the in this lovely place I'm pretending is a luxury hotel. I haven't had more than a wiff of fresh air since I walked in that unexpected Monday night. We've had a pretty good day today. Grayson is eating wonderfully, aside from a slightly less successful attempt earlier this morning. Yesterday he was only taking 10cc and needing 30cc, and I'm happy to say that as of the next feeding he'll be worked up to 27 cc! Grayson's been rockin' a bottle and ate everything he was supposed to through the night. He had a feeding that he didn't get it all in and we had to start a little lower on the amount he was eating. After that though, he's been working his way back up. He was supposed to come off the IV today, but since he didn't quite get to the 30, we're hoping tomorrow is the day! He is weighing 4 lbs 9 ounces and his levels that measure his jaundice seem to be stabalizing. He was able to come off the lights today. We are so excited to be able to hold him whenever and almost as excited to have a little more space in our room now that the gigantic suntan bed is gone :) The biggest news today...so far no tears! Gotta love that. We hope for more good news to come! Here's wishing we're home by Christmas. I think it's going to happen ;)
