A Nice, Quiet Day

Colin had a wonderful day yesterday: no bradycardias! Not having his monitors alarm is something we'll gladly get used to - a nice silence. He gained a little weight as well, up to 2 pounds 10 ounces. Most importantly, he continues to tolerate his formula, which is a major step forward for him! They even slightly increased his MCT oil. We're so proud of that little man!
He remains just as cute as ever too! I'll get a new picture or two posted in the coming days. Until then, I'm going to sit back and enjoy the peaceful sound of silence :-)

I am so happy that you can, for a change, enjoy a peaceful moments in the company of your son. Little rest for your tired minds and hearts...
God be with you my friends,

Hi, Bobby and Ania. This is Katie, your worst neighbor ever! I am so sorry I didn't know what was going on! I think about you guys every time I drive by your house. I was wondering what was going on . . . it was so dark over Christmas. I had no idea you were celebrating the holidays in the NICU with your precious little son.
I have laughed and cried reading this blog. You have done an amazing job! What a wonderful way to record and remember Colin's first days. :) I work with parents with babies in the NICU all of the time, but I've never felt their anguish and joy the way I have reading your posts.
All three of you are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. Colin is lucky to have such wonderful parents!

Colin continues to amaze. He even knows that Sunday is a day of rest, so enjoy. You all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Cousin Linda
