NICU Day 112

Will had a great night. He weighs 5lbs 0.1oz or 2270 grams. They are trying him off oxygen today and will only be at a flow of .1mls or 100 liters during his feedings. Dr Nading said WE COULD BE HOME NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you hear me? We could possibly be home NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, we are in complete shock and THRILLED! We still have to get our eyes checked next Wednesday so please pray for a VERY good eye exam. Also, we are officially on the 7 day countdown with no apnea or bradys and we go home next weekend! So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for no bradys or apnea for the next 7 days. Unfortunately Will will get his 2 months shots today or tomorrow which causes apnea in premature babies. We are hoping this will not happen to him. He will also get circumcised today. Poor thing, more torture. He does have a slight hole in between his heart chambers so we will just have to see a cardiologist in 3-4 months.

I'm so ready to have this sweet boy home!

Yes, I know his pants are too big. We tried a newborn outfit and they still don't fit.
