March 6

Tomorrow was supposed to be the next attempt at getting Will off the vent, but we've been postponed another day. There's some bacteria in the vent tube, luckily, it's not in the baby. But that combined with the secretions in his lungs put him at risk of developing an infection. So the doctor is starting him on antibiotics tonight and we're planning to extubate Saturday. Everyone pray as hard as you can that it works. I want that tube out of my little guy because the longer he's on it, the more at risk he is for infection. Plus, I want to hold him!!! He's two weeks old today and seriously overdue for some mommy cuddles. Other than that, he's doing well. They increased his feedings to 14cc, but then put it back to 11 because he wasn't digesting it all. He proved that tonight by puking all over his arm! And as if that wasn't enough, while I was changing his poopy diaper, he peed all over himself!!! Crazy little monkey. But he is the cutest darn thing. Every day he looks more like a baby and less like a skinned cat. Give that kid a couple of months and he's going to be too good looking for words!
Hays is still doing great. I'm so proud of my little sweetie. He's up to 9 cc on his feedings and he gained another ounce- 2 lbs. 7 oz!!! He's doing really well on the nasal canula, and hopefully we'll never see the CPAP again. Now if he would just stop peeing on his monkey blanket!
