Just a quick update. We spent the day at the hospital with our precious man, and it was good news today :) He has been off any added oxygen for over 24 hours now! We tried to breastfeed today, but he wasn't really into just yet (his nurse and I agree that it has alot to do with the fact he's getting IV fluids-making him feel fuller, and just so many cords attached, it was very hard to get a comfortable position). She spoke to his doctor, tho, and he agreed that if Brandon is able to digest his milk well (he's getting my pumped milk via a feeding tube) after 2 feedings, they'll remove his umbilical IV! We're hoping that by tomorrow, Brandon will be in the stepdown unit of the NICU, and hopefully home by Mother's Day! Who could ask for a better gift?!
Kaitlynne and my mom came up to visit and see Brandon for the first time...Kaitlynne was just adorable. She was afraid to touch him with all the wires coming out, but when she spoke to him, he opened his eyes and just gazed at her! She went running out into the waiting room and told Alex and my mom that "he kept looking at her"...LOL! My mom, of course, was in love...and what's not to love, he's just perfect, like his sisters. I have pictures of them together, but don't have the camera in the house...I'll post them soon.
I want to thank everyone for the TONS of emails/posts/messages/text messages/phone calls we've received regarding well wishes for our family. It's so overwhelmingly awesome to know your babies have touched so many lives, and you all have done the same for us!
To Natalie...you'll be happy to know I've removed GTT from my list of boards. For you to attack me, my children, my family in general at such a time...I just don't want to be around such a pathetically miserable person. There's a special place in hell for you, so please feel free to continue on your path...kharma will come back on you.
