DAY 42: Daddy got to hold him today!!

Today was great, Jamie got to hold Henry for the first time and change his diaper!!! He is doing soooo awesome. He is on 23-28% oxygen which is so far from when he started. His feeds are up to 11 cc's every 3 hours..they started at 4 cc's. When the Dr's did rounds there used to be a whole entourage with them for all the different things wrong with him and it would take about 20-30 minutes to go over everything and figure out the next steps...yesterday there were 3 people and it took 2 minutes...goal of the day, up his feeds and get him to poop! That is along way from get him to breath and fix his heart...(cry)..i'm just amazed at all this. The Dr said the other day to start thinking about taking him back to NICU in the hostpital where he was born...I was the one that stopped breathing at that point. I can't believe he is doing that good. I'm so psyched...he is no longer the "sick" kids...they don't use words like "severe" when talking about him. Awesome. He does still have Chronic Lung Disease, his lungs will take a very long time to repair but other than that things are great.

He wore a onsie for the first time today...crazy!! It was preemie size and big on him, lol :)

It was also Halloween today, we had so much fun going out with Bella and our neighbors. Bell got all into it, loved the independence of walking up and down the street alone...she actually walked up to houses by herself! It was great!
