Today is a good day

Well today was a good day because my little man got all of his IV lines taken out. All he has left on him is his feeding tube and the stuff that monitors his heart and breathing. He did so good on his breathing, but he is starting to like his pacifier a little too much. He likes us to stand next to him and hold it in his mouth, every once in a while he will hold it himself. He is already training mommy to give him what he wants when he gets upset and Manuel teases me about it.

I was able to hold him today and he was stable the whole time. He is getting so big, but he did loose some weight. He weighs 2lbs and 8 ounces today. He has lost a lot of the fluid he had been retaining and he is not wearing the cpap mask anymore. He needs to gain just over a pound so that he can have the surgery to repair his bowels. We are very happy for his progress and cannot wait until we bring him home. This week he is thirty two weeks today, eight more weeks to go...Yeah!
