Wednesday

Blake had a great night last night & he stayed nice & warm on his own. His bilirubin was up a tad to 14 this morning, but they still said they would wait to put him under the lights. He lost just a tiny bit since yesterday, so he still weights right around 5 pounds 6 ounces.

Today, I heard that Blake should be able to come home the beginning of May. It is very dependent on a lot of things though so we just have to take it day by day. He needs to keep him temp up, they want to watch how his sleep apnea is, and he has to be gaining at least an ounce a day. Also, he has to pass his car seat challenge test. That is where they put him in his car seat for an hour and monitor him to make sure he's ok in it.

Gabe came over to the hospital at lunch & Blake woke up when he heard Gabe's voice. He was really alert for his Daddy. It was really neat to see because Blake had been so sleepy all day.

Thank you for the adorable outfit Dede & Grant! The matching blanket is keeping him nice & toasty.
