Hi there Nat just IMed me. I did post on Friday with a new picture of Mikey, but I hit submit and I guess nothing went through. I am really sorry that it didn't go through.
Mikey is getting stronger everyday. He is still in the hospital for another 7 days of treatments. He is in a regular ward now with other babies. Becca can now stay in the room 24/7 with him they have a bed beside him for her. HE still has a pic line in for his meds and to draw blood this way they do not have to keep poking him to get blood they just take from this line. He still has a feeding tube in. He is now taken to breast feeding my daughter is so happy. He is not eating enough though. So what he does not nurse he has to be tube fed. If he is not eating well when they can release him then he will have to go home with a feeding tube. Becca does not like that idea. They told her on Friday they could send them home on Friday,but he would have to go home with the pic line in she would have to administor the meds through that and then also his feeding tube would stay in. But she said no that is why he his here so he doesn't get worst he keeps getting better. I think she made the right decision on that one.
I got to hold him for the fist time today in three weeks. It felt so good. He of course fell asleep in my arms but that was okay. I went to lay him in his crib and he was dreaming and laughing in his sleep. I have never seen a baby that young laugh so hard in his sleep.
Again I am really sorry that post did not go through. It was a nice long one too.
I wish i could be there everyday with them but they are a hour and a half way from all the family. THis hospital is about 60 miles from my house and three more miles away from her house. She lives 5 minutes away. And she was not giving updates on line until yesterday. Becca is just so wiped out.
I will try to post a picture of Mikey in a few minutes I want to make sure this letter goes through okay.
