Today was a relatively uneventful day, with the exception of a visit from Grammy and the return of big brother, Tatum :) Grammy even brought gluten free, dairy free lasagna and brownies! Yum! Cooper is doing well.
The doc took Cooper off of his IV fluids, which is a good sign--the fewer things he depends on here, the happier everyone is. He slept pretty well last night, though not quite as well as the night before. It's been 48 hours since he had a major spit-up, another good sign. He hasn't gained any weight while here, but hasn't lost any, either. We're all hoping he starts packing on the ounces now that he's off of the IV fluids and as his appetite improves.
Tomorrow is the big test when we'll check on bladder/kidney function and also take another sample to see that (hopefully) the infection has left the bladder.
Otherwise, just so thankful for an amazing nursing staff and doctor. I didn't mention this in an earlier post, but a few days ago we got moved to a MUCH bigger room that actually has a fridge in it for Cooper's formula (and our food, but shhhh...the fridge is only for patient food). ;-) All in all, we couldn't ask for a better hospital experience. Still, hope we get to go home with a healthy baby soon...

Hey Kirsta and Michael,
ReplyDeleteSaw Kirsta's post on FB and then decided I should check your blog (haven't been online in awhile). Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear all that little Cooper (and you guys) are having to go through!!
We will keep Cooper and your family in our prayers. Please let me know if there is anything we can do from here.
Much love,
Kim
