Rub-A-Dub-Dub...First Time In The Tub!

Well the votes are in. The nurses and doctors told us that they voted Dylan the cutest baby in the NICU and needless to say......we agree.




It has been a really good couple of days. Dylan has surpassed the 3 pound mark. He has graduated from the "high flow" nasal cannula to the standard nasal cannula. This means that his oxygen needs have decreased and he is beginning to breath more and more on his own. He finished his antibiotics and no longer has IVs. It is due to his lack of an IV that we get to have regular tub baths with him. His first tub bath took place on March 29, 2008 and he seemed to love it. It was sooo awesome to see him just chilling in the tub. His feeding tube is now in his nose opposed to in his mouth. This allows him to practice nursing. This most likely will be our next big hurdle, but so far he seems to be some what interested so we'll see how it goes.


















Because he is such a big boy, he gets to wear clothes instead of just his diaper. He sports preemie onesies and sleepers, but they still seem to be a bit too big. Maybe in another month he'll fit into them better.





He continues to progress and it's awesome to see him come along. We love our little guy more than anything in the world!

(He just loves to hold his Mommy's hand.)


We continue to get so much support. Thanks for all the phone calls, visits, letters, and gifts. We want to especially thank our parents and grandparents for all they have done and do for us. We are very thankful for great family and friends who have helped us through this trying time.
