still going strong



Well, Hudson is still doing good. He is now up to 40cc's and is approved to start 50cc's at 3:30am if all is still going well. His IV rate is barely running at all is going so slow now and if everything goes well through tomorrow, they will take the PIC line out of his head on Thursday! This is when he will be put in a crib. We are still in isolation, which I think we will stay in until we go home. There is no need to move us right now and we like it. We said we moved up to our own suite now! We have our room so its more private. Today I fed him at 12:30 and when he finished he stayed awake the whole time I held him!! It was like an hour and a half!  He never cried. We just stared at each other the whole time. He is sweet. I can't wait to bring home! The girls act excited, but I don't know if they really understand what their in for! I'm sure this is confusing, me having a baby and then coming home without it. Also, they haven't seen him since last Sat. since he was moved into isolation and all. They don't want the girls to catch the virus that he had so we have kept them away. But he shouldn't be contagious anymore now. Thank you all so much for prayers! I am still praying that all keeps going so well and that he does well with the breast milk. Thanks!
