NICU- Day 4

Today was an awesome day!  First of all, the jaundice levels came back and Lawson was able to come out from under his light therapy.  Also, Lawson's umbilical catheter was taken out today and replaced with an IV in his hand.  He was also taken off his oxygen today.  We are doing this "oxygen trial" to find out how he does.  So far, so good though.  He's been without his oxygen for about 7 hours now and we could not be any happier.  He is now eating a little more than an ounce per feeding and he seems to be tolerating it well.  We are praying that he will continue to progress with his feedings so that his feeding tube can come out in a few days.  He has made a lot of progress today- we are trusting in God that he will stay stable through the night and the day tomorrow.  We are hoping that his labs come back good tonight so that he can continue to stay off his lights and his oxygen.  Here are a few pictures of him today- he's getting more precious by the minute!

Sweet Boys!

No catheter  or oxygen- look at that sweet face!

Every few hours we have a new favorite picture.  This is it for right now- beautiful baby boy!
