It has been a GREAT DAY!!

So as long as Daxton keeps up the good work we will be on our way home tomorrow morning!!:) They have moved us out of the ICU and into a regular room It has been so much better. We are so excited!!

Not so great of a day!

So today hasn't been a very good day. Daxton is not eating much at all. He is mostly getting fed by tube. It has been a very frustrating day for both Daniel and I.We have no idea how to make things go smoother for him. He gets so angry and then tired. We am hoping things get better soon.

Great Day!!

So today was a great day. Dax started to breastfeed and he actually likes it. He does so much better breastfeeding then with a bottle. Hopefully he keeps it up so we can go home!!!

Update!

So we are now feeding. This is taking some time. He is having a hard time knowing how time with the suck, swallow, breathe technique. He is growing and doing well otherwise. It sounds like we will be coming home in the next couple of weeks. He still is as stubborn as ever. He likes to show us his temper at least 4 or 5 times a day. He is almost to full feeds and as long as he keeps most of that down then we will be on our way home.

Done with surgery on to the next step!!

So Daxton had surgery on Tuesday afternoon. It went really well and is now done with the silo. He is quite sedated still today but he is doing really well. They are weening him off the breathing tube, and hopefully it will be gone Friday. It is funny how we get excited about the smallest things. He had his first bowel movement today. He is headed in the right direction. It sounds like we will be going home the by the end of April. That would be great.

HE FINALLY ARRIVED!!!

So he finally made it here. He was born on March 25th at 10:50pm. The cord was wrapped around his neck and they had to revive him, but he is doing well. He is on a vent until his body heals more. He was 6 lbs 13 oz and 19 1/4" long. He has long dark hair and tons of it. He has a rough road ahead of him but is doing well so far. We are hoping for surgery either tonight or tomorrow. I will keep you informed. Dad and I are both doing well. We just can't wait to hold our little one and take him home.

Last appointment!!

So we had our last appointment today. We had a non-stress test and fluid check. Normally the non-stress tests take about 30 minutes, but today our little one didn't take a rest so we were there for an hour. Finally he slowed down enough for only 3 minutes the whole hour though. The fluid check was really good. We found that his second toe on his right foot is longer than is big toe. I am not sure were that came from, not me. So we are scheduled for induction on Wednesday on 2 days left. They are going to induce me at 7:30pm on Wednesday so sometime Thursday morning our little will for sure be here. We are so excited, but a little nervous at the same time because we have no idea what the next few weeks are going to bring.
