• Michael has been off of the oxygen for over 24 hours
• The bili-lites have been turned off. His jaundice went way down.
• The IV was taken out of his head this morning. He is getting plenty of fluids from his regular feedings.
• He is able to rest better between feedings and continues to gain strength.
• He has started opening his eyes to look around when it is time to check his vitals and eat.
• It is so nice to see what he looks like without having his head covered in tubes, wires, and gauze.

I am doing well and enjoying each day; being with Michael during the day, spending time with Peter, Sydney and Isaac in the evenings and early mornings.

Unfortunately, Isaac has been pretty sick this morning (Peter and Sydney also have mild colds) so I have to wear a face mask at home and keep my hands washed; also, I have to kind of stay away from him. If I get sick I can’t go to the NICU, so here’s hoping that I stay well during the next few days.
