Moments in Time

Dear Samuel,

There are moments in life that stick with you....Winning a big game, Meeting your mom, Seeing how beautiful she looked when she was walking down the aisle at our wedding.

Tonight, I had one of those moments.

Both your Mom and I got to hold you today. We're both hoping that this is a trend that can continue as you keep getting bigger and stronger. 

In other news.....

We are past the 72 hour mark on your blood culture coming back negative (or not coming back at all, I should say). This is awesome news because the tentative plan right now is to remove your IV as soon as the 26th. One less thing that would need to be hooked up to you! 

Speaking of your IV, they actually had to move it to a vein in your head! Apparently, it's a better place to get at your veins from instead of your arm or leg. 

Your feedings have been taken up to 11 ccs per every 3 hours. Hopefully this helps with chunking you out a bit. It has so far, as you are up to 1 pound 10.4 ounces. 

So glad that you have had a few good days in a row. Let's keep it rolling! 

Love, 

Mom and Dad
