Renewed & Energized

Well despite earlier hopes, we won't be able to bring Liam home from the hospital until next week at the earliest. We thought this Friday would be discharge day, however, we forgot that Liam was on another medicine and would also need to be weaned off of that. So that was hard to swallow yesterday and today I awoke with a renewed sense of reassurance that despite the delay it would all be for the best. Looking at the positive side of things really helps me get through the let downs.

With that said we are so happy to say that little Liam is doing fantastic! His weaning is going just as planned and he just had his last dose of Morphine at noon today, so if all goes well over 48 hours they will then start weaning the other medicine, which the doctor said is a lot quicker process. So the doctor told us today, that if everything continues to go well we should be discharged in 6 days :), which for those of you counting, is next Tuesday! I am super excited and I just want to ask you all to continue to pray for our little guy, that he continues to get stronger, better, and comes home (well at least to the hotel) on Tuesday! Thank you.

Otherwise Liam is doing great! He is now eating 100% of his formula from the bottle and his muscular tone is doing great. His scores have been 3s, which is amazing and he is really a rather delightful baby. He loves to be swaddled, but he doesn't mine doing his muscle stretches that the Physical Therapist has recommended, he actually fell asleep with it, and he is just about the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! Things are going really well and we are just praying for a speedy process to bring us all back home to Ohio. Florida is just not my state. Way too hot and humid every day! Otherwise it's been a great trip considering everything we've been through. Please keep praying for Liam! Thank you all so much!
