Not Too Much New to Report...

So today was pretty uneventful, which sometimes I think is a good thing. Reid now weighs 2 pounds, 6 oz - 1 oz heavier than his birth weight. He is up to 6cc's of milk per feeding, so we should begin to see some weight gain soon. He was also moved to another section of the NICU this afternoon. Our NICU has three different rooms. The first room is for babies who are in critical condition (which is where all newborn preemies originally go) and is where Reid spent his first 9 days. In this first room, the babies have to be monitored constantly and are considered 'sick' or just too small to function well on their own. The second room is for babies who are in a little better shape. They are still monitored a lot, but aren't in as critical a condition. So that is a blessing that Reid has 'graduated.' I try to remind myself daily that there could be some setbacks eventually, but it is such a wonderful feeling when my little man has a good day. Mimi and Grampy (Shari's parents) visited Reid tonight - my mom took several great pics of Reid, but I won't be able to post them until Monday (my mom's card reader is at her work place) . That's all for today...

Congrats Reid - no more CPAP! I am glad to hear he is progressing well. We are saying a prayer daily for everyone.
