Greetings.
Mari and I just returned from our overnight stay at the ICN family room. The ICN offers a room for families to stay overnight with their babies when the babies are stable. Elsa joined us in the room and we had a great evening! Every three hours or so, Elsa would wake up and politely suggest that she was hungry. This was a great practice for her...on demand feeding. She finally tuckered out at 8am this morning but we are all very happy with her progress.
Being in the ICN room made visiting Jonas very easy too. We hopped down a flight of stairs and were at the NICU. He also made some huge progress this weekend. He was removed from the ventilator and placed back on CPAP. Yesterday, the doctor decided that he was big and strong enough to go on to full-time cannula. He has been going strong for a day now! Great news as this is a big step forward for his breathing and also would eventually allow for his second hernia operation to occur with out having to go on ventilator.
We had a great weekend and enjoyed our first sleepness night caused by babies crying and not by late night hospital calls.
We are praying that Jonas keeps on getting stronger on his breathing. He can do it! And we pray that Elsa eventually gets tired of the ICN day spa and wants to come home:)
God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
