You know how the saying goes... "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" I don't know....
Today was ANOTHER great day! Seems like this could be the calm before the storm, but hopefully not. Anyway I got to the hospital around 9 am like usual and I was praying that I would get to hold Bryce today... Well as soon as I walked in the first thing the nurse (Angie) said to me was "what time do you want to hold him?" The best 8 words anyone could have said to me. So I went pee and sat down. I started the hold at 9:15 am and was putting him back (only because it got noisy in the pod) at 12:30 pm.... It was the best hold we've had so far. He was so comfy the whole time and satting in the 90's the whole time. He never desatted or anything! It was perfect. At rounds they canceled his echo he had scheduled for tomorrow because they are pretty sure the PDA has closed! Still not getting my hopes up but for now this is great! On the not so great side Bryce has lost 40 grams in the last 2 days... He should be gaining 20-30 grams per day...could be because they have slowed down his IV nutrition and just have him on breast milk with a supplement for calories and they say sometimes during the transition they lose a bit of weight BUT he does need to start gaining fairly quick so he doesn't have to go back on high IV nutrition. Other than that things "knock on wood" seem to be OK for now.... Please keep praying for him and hopefully we will continue on the upward trend instead of down.... I have a few pictures from our visit today that I will post. Oh also since he was having a good day I left the hospital at 2 pm and laid out in the sun! (For those of you who think I spend too much time at the hospital) :)

I just had to write I hope you don't mind. The Eisners used to live down the street from me on North Sturbridge Road. I have known them for about 19 years or so. My name is Amy (Houde) Langevin and my mom just sent me the link to your blog and asked me to pray for you. I just wanted to say that you will be in my prayers and also to let you know what an amazing woman you are and how much strength and courage you seem to have. I am so happy for little Stevie Eisner that he has found such an amazing wife and mother for his children. God Bless you and your family. And I will keep little Bryce in my prayers.
Glad you and Bryce had a good day!!!!!!!!!!! Goos day to lay in the sun too!!!!!!!!
All my love,
Dad
Erika and Steve-you are all in our prayers. I have checked your blog every day since Gram gave it to me.
