Thursday May 8th

Wesley is still doing great! He is 5 days old!  Breathing is great! They have increased his feeding today so hopefully he will start to gain weight soon.  They removed his umbilical line and I've heard that's good news.  Progress!!! His flow of oxygen is at 25% and his abdomen is looking good.  He still has a long ways to go but the Dr. says if all goes well he can leave at 34-36 weeks!  The birth parents sign the papers tomorrow and then he will soon be in out names.  Once they sign they can't change their mind which is the scariest part until they do sign.  Luckily the birth parents are giving no signals that they will back out.  It's hard not seeing him every night.  We hope to move him once he is stable and is ours.  We won't get to go see him until Sunday.  I call the hospital at least twice a day and dr calls once.  At least hearing updates of him doing well help ease my concerns for him.
