quickie

Its been a while again since I updated, and we made it through another Thursday (although not without a hitch). We're still wrestling with our emotions for a number of reasons. We tried stopping Logan's caffeine, but the number and severity of his alarms increased so it was restarted. This is good & bad. On a positive note, it gets us closer to a discharge date (maybe next week some time??). The bummer is that he goes home on a monitor. Pardon my selfishness here and granted, I have zero experience to date with a home monitor. I'm bummed because I was really looking forward to perhaps having a seemingly "normal" newborn experience for a while after 6 weeks of the NICU. . .with no tubes, wires, bells or whistles. Such is not the case, however, and Logan will come home with a monitor so that we can ensure his utmost safety. He's eating very well and gaining weight (5 lb 10 oz last night!!) I'm not sure what the plan is for removing the feeding tube, but I assume we're close (and this time Logan's much closer to ready for that). Thanks for hanging in there with us. Please have a great weekend.
Love Dale, Michelle & Logan
