Feb 8th - Day 16 in the NICU

On Wednesday the 8th, Will continued to improve with his feedings -- he took ALL feedings today by bottle except the 3am one! Way to go, Will!

I forgot to mention this in the previous post, but he pulled his NG tube out yesterday -- when he needed it for the 3am feeding today, the nurse put it in but removed it again afterwards. Doesn't he look SO handsome without any tubes??!! :) He was also allowed to nurse up to 4 times today, and he did well with all of them!

They also discharged the phototherapy today, as his bilirubin was back down. No more tanning! (I love this photo -- he's such a stud) ;)

Our growing boy all stretched out:

Here's Will at the end of the day -- all his tubes and velcro (for his sunglasses required while on the bili light) gone! We haven't seen him like this since the morning he was born! He looks SO good!!

If he continues to do well, we hope to have him home by this weekend!! Thank you again for your continued prayers and support. God bless you!

Love,
Abby, Andy, John, Will, and Wayne-Dog :)
