Day 8



Tim put his wedding ring all the way up to Hayden's shoulder!! Such tiny, skinny arms!

Well today was another great day for Hayden!! He has not had anymore breathing incidents since yesterday morning. Because of this they are increasing his feeding per 1 ml. every 12 hours that he goes without an incident. He was up to 3 ml. every three hours when we got there earlier and the nurse said that if he did well in the next 12 hours that they would increase to 4 ml. every three hours. He is also not on his bilirubin light anymore because his bilirubin has gone back to normal. They said this may change if it builds up again, but for now hes doing great. His blood sugar is normal and yesterday he had gained 2 ounces (tonight they are going to weigh him again to check and see if he has gained anymore). He is slowly gaining back up to his birth weight and we can't wait till he starts having a steady gain. We are praising God for how well he is doing and how fast Hayden is progressing. He has had a few scary setbacks and keeps mommy on her toes. Overall though he is doing great. Keep the prayers coming, they are working!!

Smiles for mommy!
