Dear Samuel,
It was a big day for Momma today. The doctor told her she could go home today....which is bittersweet. We are able to sleep in our own bed tonight and see your big brother Isaac. BUT we have to leave you at the hospital. I think we are beginning to realize just how hard this is going to be.....
Not much change for you today. They let you take it easy today because of your day yesterday. Your weight came back up a little to 1 pound 5.9 ounces...so almost back to your birth weight. During "Rounds" this morning your doctor decided to tweak some of your vent settings which seemed to do the trick with stabilizing some of your O2 stats.
They also decided to up your feedings of breast milk to 3 cc's every 3 hours, which is great! You still haven't had a "BM" but they are encouraged that they can hear digestion in your stomach.
We were able to do some more "hand hugging" today and you grabbed momma's finger with your tiny little hand. I'm glad I thought to grab my phone to catch this precious moment:

We came back down to see you tonight and not much change (which we like). The only thing is was that your Blood sugar is a bit high. They started you on some Insulin this morning, which is supposed to bring your blood sugar back down, but it's only kept climbing.
Otherwise, you looked really peaceful today and it looked like you were getting a lot of rest.
Looking forward to sleeping in our bed tonight, but always thinking of you buddy. Sleep tight.
Love,
Mom and Dad
