Fashion Show

I have a little time at lunch to update everyone on our journey.  Kaleb is doing awesome and is pretty much on the feed and grow plan.  There are no medicines on the pole next to him.  He gets a couple shots and a few blood draws throughout the week and that is it!   We still have to stay in the ICU until he shows weight gain, but we’re headed down the right path.   Not only have they increased his food intake, they have added formula with extra calories to put weight on him.   Kaleb has also found that mom is a good food source and both are naturals at the breast feeding activity, which is done 2-3 times a day now.

Mom and dad are hanging in there.  I’m trying to balance work and life in the ICU.  Mom is the super champ.  She’s been at the hospital this whole time, pumps every 2-3 hours, keeps up with rounds, and makes sure the nurses are taking extra good care of him.  I so married a bad ass!!!
Because I don’t have too much time to write, I figured I’d post a bunch of pictures.  Honestly, there is not a lot to write about.  Each day is more positive and is another step toward our first surgery.  Which we hope is in 3-6months.

Enjoy the show.
