Happy One Month Birthday to Little John!!!!

Little John is doing well.  He eats and sleeps and poops.  Just what a baby should be doing.  Hooray!!!! 

Little John goes in this evening for a checkup.  We will determine if he is gaining enough weight and eating enough.  

I will post more after his appointment. 

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. 

HE'S HOME

Little John is home as of 6:19pm MT tonight.  He is doing well. 

HE'S COMING HOME TODAY!!!

LITTLE JOHN IS COMING HOME!!!!! 

We are awaiting the final discharge papers to be sent out but we are leaving today.  

Little John will be in Pocatello, Idaho this afternoon.   Little John will not have any tubes or oxygen when he leaves. 

Thanks again for the prayers and best wishes.

Not coming home yet :(

Little John is not going to be coming home today.  The doctors don't feel that he has gained enough weight yet.  Even though he currently weighs 9 lbs.  

So Little John will be alternately feed on breast milk and bottle feed fortified formula.  We are hopeful that they will be more comfortable sending him home tomorrow.  

Thanks again for the best wishes and the prayers. 

Little John is doing really well.  Doctors are going to allow Marlo to actually try to breast feed Little John today hopefully.  Marlo has been getting acquainted w/ waking up to Little John's cries at night.   Right now John is only on his feeding tube and preventative oxygen just to make sure that his heart is working well. 

Hopefully Little John will be home tomorrow afternoon.  

Thanks again for all the best wishes and prayers.  Also thank you for all the people who have made the trip to visit.

Check back later for updates on Little John's progress.

Little John is now getting 3ml/hr of breast milk.  He is breathing really well and over all well.   Little John is getting well adjusted to being held and snuggled a lot. 

2:42pm-Update: Little John has been moved to the 3rd floor to a treatment room to adjust to being off all the machines.  If he adjusts well then he will be in his own room by tonight. They upped his milk to 5ml/hr and he is really doing well. As soon as his bag of lipids runs out they will remove his lipids tube. 

He may be released the end of this week if things keep progressing well.
