When the Doctor said, "feed him like crazy", that's exactly what I did and WOW did it pay off!! At Lil' squishy faces weight check this afternoon, he weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz!!!!! I couldn't believe it, the nurse was shocked, and the Doctor said "this made my day!" He not only got back to his birth weight...he passed it by 9 ounces. Absolutely NO reason for a hospital stay now. As the Doctor walked out she said, "you must have had the right prayers being said." I know our family said many prayers out loud and silently, and to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers...thank-you!!!! I appreciate you all sooo much!
My little Ashie is feeling much better, and my baby boy is getting even squishier! I'm feeling extremely grateful this evening...and a lot less anxious, so much so that I took a very nice nap this afternoon...a little bit of some much needed rest! Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday night!!
Oh, Tanielle, Congratulations!! Thank God lil guy put on some weight! And I'm glad you are all feeling better, hopefully strep will leave now!
ReplyDeleteThat is such great news!!!!!! I just love looking at him!!! Hopefully you can get some more rest, too.

Hooray for Squishy! I'm so glad and I know how relieved you must be. (One of mine was in the NICU for 9 days and it was a little bit of hell on earth.) We'll keep praying that he continues to put on weight. (And that you get to rest.)
