Today Dustin got a room upgrade (when did he get those points?) as he moved from the ICN to the Special Care Nursery. This room has a higher ratio of kids to nurses and is generally the last stop on the way home.
Dustin started on mom's milk on Weds, I got to feed him from the bottle on Thurs, and today, he did not need any IV fluid feeding at all as of 5p - meaning he is weaning himself from IV fluids. As soon as he can consistently feed from mom's milk without any further nutrients via IV, then he will be near ready to come home. They want to do a few more tests, including the dreaded car seat test, which we may fail : )
We have also started calling Dustin "Spike" as his hair sticks up. We'll see if this sticks...
Lisa is doing fine and recovering nicely each day. We continue to pray for full recovery for Dustin and Mom, and for transition for all of us, including Zach.
Thanks again for all of your emails, calls, support and prayers.
Rob and Lisa
