Jack is a Superstar!



Jack did great today.  He ate 55+ml of milk all day, except tonight.  He only had 32ml but we think it was just because he wasn't that hungry.  Jack has obtained quite the reputation around the nursery for being a big eater, but when he doesn't eat he is VERY grouchy.  He has thrown some serious food related temper tantrums.  But as soon as you give him his bottle, all is better.  Jack is still doing great. No IV.  No heat lamp. No feeding tube. 

He will likely be moved to a regular crib this evening when they weigh him and feed him at midnight. This is good because that is just one more step he had to take before he could leave.  Now we are just waiting on the sleep analysis test that we hope will take place tomorrow.  The results will follow in 24-48hrs,  and then we should be able to leave....Fingers crossed. 

Thanks for all the well wishes.  It is great to see how many people are following.  It makes it so much easier to get accurate information out to everyone when we are not relying on a chain of telephone calls.  We love you guys, and will write more tomorrow!

Go Jack!!
