Ian is off of oxygen!
I walked into the nicu today to find Ian sleeping in his bouncy seat with no oxygen on. The nurse had pulled it off early this morning and said he's done fine all day without it and doesn't need it. They increased his feeds to 20cc every 3 hours this morning, then this afternoon the dr increased them again to 25cc every 3 hours. I asked the dr "if he continues to do well like this and no problems arise, when might we be looking at taking him home?".... Doc says "well, we want to get him to 2oz every 3hrs to get off of the tpn....sooooo....maybe by the end of the week"..... I about fell out of my chair! I said "you are kidding" , he said "no, maybe early next week, we don't want to push him, but maybe by the end of the week". I just cannot believe it, it doesn't seem real.

Christy, you don't know me, but I'm Jill Velicer's Aunt and have been following your blog on little Ian since Jill mentioned his struggles. I've been keeping all of you in my prayers and am so happy to hear that he is off oxygen and may be home in a week. I'll continue to pray that all goes well for him and you.
Wow Christy!!! This is soooo cool! I can't wait to hear that you actually are taking him home. That day will be so fun and emotional!
Thank you sandy! I appreciate your prayers so much!
