We've been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from friends, family and acquaintances for our family. We're happy to report that there isn't a lot to report! Wilson continues to gain weight (today is at 4 lb. 15 oz. - almost 5 lb. way to go buddy!) and they continue to wait for his strength to allow him to eat more consistently. At this point Wilson is nursed throughout the day and whatever he doesn't "transfer" through he is then fed through more milk through his NG tube (which takes much less energy for him). Throughout the night Wilson gets bottles of milk and has been doing very well with these feedings.
Charley is ready for his little brother to come home! Of course, he may change his mind once Wilson is actually home. All of Charley's grandparents came for visits last weekend and it was nice catching up. Any time Mitch & I can get to the hospital together has been really great, and we've been blessed enough to have people watch Charley for a bit so we can do two baths for Wilson together. Daddy is getting stretched pretty far this week with going back to work, having a speaker on campus, spending time with us at home and trying to get to the hospital to see Wilson.
We've been trying to get the house all ready and around for Wilson's trip home. No word yet on the exact time frame of his release from the NICU, but we're remaining hopeful. Although we don't want Wilson to come home before he's ready his nursing is extremely inconsistent - I've threatened pulling out the "mom" voice already!
**Congrats to our good friends Brian & Krissie - new parents to James Edward Tomlinson yesterday. Mommy & Baby are healthy and doing great. We're very happy for them and cannot wait to meet Eddie!
