How many has it been???

How many good days have we had???? Well today was another! I don;t even know what to say. I got to hold Bryce again today, only for an hour and a half but even 5 minutes is worth it to me. He behaved all day. Bad News is he has lost a total of 70 grams in the last three days... I'm a little concerned about this but I don't think the docs are, but good news is at rounds the docs decided he no longer needs any IV's (for now anyway) and longer needs IV nutrition SO they took out his PIC line! This is a big step because it means he is maintaining his fluid levels on his own and not dehydrating. They are adding triglycerides to his milk and one more supplement to fatten him up, in place of the IV nutrition. He is up to 13 ml. every 3 hours... (this is good seeing as he started at .5 ml) Other than that not too much to report..... He's being a very good boy, lets just pray he stays this way! (Especially when he gets older)
Also today is Bryce's big sister Faythe's 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday Faythe!
I took the girls to visit Bryce today (faythe was bored though so we only stayed about 5 minutes) So all in all it was a good day. I tried laying out in the sun again but it was WAY too hot so I just went back up to the hospital instead... I tried.
