Day 38 Michael is doing well!

Sorry we haven't updated the blog this week. Michael is doing very well and is pretty close to coming home. He was transfered back to L&M on Tuesday and resumed bottle feeding. He passeed his one hour oxygen car seat test but wasn't able to keep his body temperature up so he wasn't moved to a crib - and remained in the isolete. He is doing very well on his bottle feedings and taking 40-60ml's at every feeding. He is a champion burper so far as well. The NICU santa visited all the babies and left them a stocking filled with baby goodies - diapers, wipes, shampoo, lotion and a stuffed toy. Daddy decorated his stocking! Michael is 4lbs and holding. Today Michael had his circumcision and he did well with it - he's a little swollen but within a week he should heal. He was moved to a crib tonight to test how he holds with his body temperature and he'll have a standard hearing test in the next day or so. Now we just wait and continue to feed....word has it that he'll be home middle of the week. We are getting ready at home and can't wait. It will be a nice New Year in our home.
