Due Date!

You're officially "old" in the NICU world. They call you "chronic", because you'll be hanging around for awhile. Booooo!

The doctors don't round on you till 5pm now! They used to round on you by 10am. You are no longer considered the sick baby on the block. :-)

You are past your due date! We are so proud of everything you've accomplished. This weekend was emotionally tough because it was your due date and looking back when we began this journey I expected you to be home by now. Our world is not the same as it was months ago, we have to make some really hard decisions regarding our family and how we function now and for the upcoming school year. But you are worth it all!!!!!

You had a head ultrasound today and a cyst was found. The doctors believe you had a grade 1 head bleed that is healing. While the news gets rough to hear sometimes, you have life and that we are most grateful for. I don't know what challenges you'll face in the future, but I do know I'll do everything in my power to help you every step along the way. You are one special boy, and we can't wait for these hospital days to be in the past!

Keep growing! We are praying for new lung tissue growth everyday!

Xoxo,
Mom
