Well-- another good news/bad news day.
The good news is that Josiah is doing fantastic and he continues to improve every moment. You would never know that he had open heart surgery a week ago. He’s healing so well and he just is really just a normal baby. He’s continues to improve with his feeds—consistently taking at least 50% via mouth. He’s started breastfeeding and is a total champ, but he’s on a limited nursing schedule because of the energy it expends vs. bottle-feeding… so it’s more pumping for me.
More good news—Nia came home today. It was so good to see her and she LOVES LOVES LOVES her little brother.
The sort of bad news is that Josiah is not coming home for a little bit—probably not until at least the end of the week… it’s kind of a long story, but the bottom line is that his cardiologist wants to get him on full feeds before he comes home. So basically we are just waiting to build endurance.
I have a lot more to say but Nick is leaving for the night and bringing his laptop with him, so I will have to update you more tomorrow.
