Wesley is doing great so this won't be much of a blog today.  He was having some episodes of bradycardia yesterday (slow heart rate) so they watched him close today.  He is doing good on the machine in his nose for breathing and they are gradually weaning him off of it.  Still no feeds today but that will start tomorrow. Dr said so far the culture is negative and if the final is negative they will discontinue antibiotics.  His belly is looking good, no distention. Alert and happy!

Just called for the night update and nurse said all is good and they checked his bilirubin and it was good so the bili lights are off yay! His heart rate has been stable too.  I asked if they checked his thyroid bc yesterday the dr mentioned they would but she could not find it in the chart so I will have to ask tomorrow.  I keep forgetting to ask his weight ugh! But prob good bc it goes up and down and I may get discouraged if it goes down.  He was sound asleep when I called... I wish I could just sit there all night and watch him sleep :( It's hard being far away.  I won't rush his arrival though.  I want a strong healthy boy when he gets here!
