3 Weeks Old

Daniel is still improving and the doctors think that he had an
infection, not in his belly, but one that did affect his tummy. He
will continue getting antibiotics. They have started him back on
2cc's of mom's milk every 2 hours and hope they can avoid putting in
the pic line. They also are continuing to wean his ventilator
settings. One concern is his high glucose levels and the doctors are
reducing the amount of sugar he is getting in his IV.

Daniel got to sport clothes for the first time today. His nurse
dressed him in a little shirt that was still too big for him. And
Mommy changed his diaper for the first time too.

The doctors are happy with Sofia's progress after the surgery. She
was sleepy today and on her pain medication but did open her eyes and
respond more in the afternoon. We didn't bother her too much and just
let her hang out and recover.

Oh I'm so relieved that they did well yesterday! I'm sure Daniel was adorable in his shirt!
