NICU Day 18

Day 18.
Andrew is looking so good these days and is filling in nicely. Dr. Schwendeman informed me this morning that last nights weight of 1140 grams was incorrect. He said that they reweighed Andrew and he was 1060 grams, that was after 3 stools. Andrew is becoming more predictable, he starts squirming and opening his eyes about 30 minutes before his feeing. He is a smart guy and knows he is waiting on something good. I believe that today Andrew received last bag of TPN and lipids and by Thursday he will be on what they call "full feeds". Andrew got 2 new pillows today, one for his tummy and one for his head. Dad is with Andrew tonight, probably trying to sneak in some kangarooing.
Thanks to the Ruby's and Karen J. for not letting us go hungry today.
The dinner was delicious, and very good watermelon by the way.
