Action Packed Day

Sorry for the lack of updates, but it has been a day full of activities. We had an early morning visit with Parker and then met with his doctors. They were pleased with his progress and took off the breathing supplement and said he could start feeding normally! Here's a pic without the tubes getting in the way of his handsome mug.



The big task of the day has been getting him to feed. A little awkward for both parties at first, but they'll get the hang of it. I've gotten to change his diaper and dress him in some of his own gear, which was actually pretty awesome. I'm sure this thrill will pass, but right now it's all good and I'm loving it.

Today was a little more challenging because they didn't transfer Kris out of ICU until late afternoon, and ICU is not in the same building as the NICU. We had to make several trips back and forth with a nurse wheeling her over, which adds to the rigors of the feeding schedule. We're now in the maternity ward, which is only a floor below the NICU and I can wheel Kris up to see him whenever we want. MUCH better. We're told if he feeds well and his breathing continues to improve, he may be able to come down to our room to hang with us instead of the NICU. We can't wait to have him around full time!

Hopefully I'll have more time tomorrow to post some more pictures.
