Rocky week 4

Saturday:
Today Rocky is 3 weeks old! It's hard to believe that by the end of this week he will be a month old. This morning we all went to Salt Lake for the color run. I of course did not run, but enjoyed watching everyone else. As soon as we got home I showered to get all of the color off so I would be allowed in the NICU. I was able to be here today for the 1p.m. and 4p.m. feedings. He did well at the 1pm, he took 38grams and since he ate for more than 10 minutes he didn't have to get any by tube! He's getting closer to going home with his feeding progress, I would say a couple of weeks.

Sunday:
Dave went to Arizona again this morning and on the way he dropped Christie and the boys off at the airport. I went to see Rocky this evening for his 7p.m. feeding. When I got there the nurse let me know that he was on request feedings and then said that next was on demand and then he would go home! She said if things continue well then he could be home by Wednesday or Thursday!! I was in a bit of shock as I was expecting a couple more weeks. I was really happy and nervous. I can't believe he has done so well. I guess once they started bottles he just took right off and drank all of his milk with no problems. Good job little buddy!!

Monday:
He is still on track to go home this week. They said tomorrow I will room in to learn his oxygen equipment and do all the discharge stuff.

And I'm posting this because I wrote it, even though I just finished an update...time sure does fly!
