First - A huge thanks to my team at work who took on extra jobs to cover for me while I was out last week!! I truly appreciate all you have done for me and my family.
Mardee is continuing to show improvement - I think she is doing great, she has been cleared to drive if needed - however we are not pushing that one. She is feeling better each day, the challenge is to keep her from overdoing it. Yea right....
The girls are feeling the reality of having a new baby in the NICU, as mom and dad are constantly running and not around as much as we would like to be. They are each being troopers and understand the situation but are anxious to get things back to normal as soon as possible. Normal - what's that - right??
Cooper continues to show improvement, he has moved to 4 per day feedings with the bottle and even took a bottle last night from the nurse. He usually doesn't like to eat for anyone besides Mardee and I. They tried to remove his oxygen today but turned it back up - he still needs oxygen when eating so two steps forward, one step back... The next hurdle is the 12 hour on-demand feeding which I believe they will start tonight or tomorrow, this is where the nurses let him sleep and wake up when he is hungry to see how he responds to on-demand food. If he does well with the 12 hour test we move onto a 24 hour test.

Asleep in the tub - notice the lounging with the leg out.
