No major updates to report- Liam is still draining but its less, and he is peeing more, exactly what the doctors want. He is on full feeds by NG tube through his nose and not much else in terms of drugs, etc, just a few little things. We were moved to a private room in ICU which is pretty nice for him, its quieter and for us, its private. No more moving our things around every day between car and room and Ronald McDonald House. Most important, it means the doctors feel comfortable with not having him in a pod with access to their area.
So for now, its a pure waiting game. We are able to hold him 2-3 times a day and rock him. He has been laughing and smiling, so much, its been a relief to us because its a great sign he is feeling better. Hopefully we aren't looking at more than a few weeks to getting better and home. Fingers crossed!
Cute smile!

When I look at his smile, I just melt - he's so adorable! He looks like he's loving having mommy and daddy holding him again! We'll continue to keep praying for him and our fingers & toes are crossed that you are all home together real soon-and then we'll get to hold him! Remember, we're not that far, if you need anything or would like some company, just let us know! Love, Carol Ann
