One week later....

Sorry everyone we have been so busy and have not had a chance to update the blog. Dylan has had a great past week and is still doing great. The doctors have up'd his feedings to 9 cc's every 3 hours now. This is the most that Dylan has ever had and he is tolerating them great with only trace residuals every time. He is sure growing like a weed his weight is up to 2 pounds and 12 ounces now, he has been at that weight for a couple of days now. They are waiting another couple of days to re'add the fortifier back into his milk just to make sure that he tolerates the amount first before they add the extra calories. He is off of his antibiotics again so we just keep on praying that he continues to not get any other bugs. He has just a little bit of edema in his head and neck area but most of his weight is just him growing and getting bigger! For Halloween the group of volunteers the UIHC has made him a little pumpkin hat and booties, it was the cutest thing we have ever seen. Hopefully soon I can get some of those pictures posted on here, with his little chubber cheeks it fit him perfect. Brad was in a wedding this weekend in Galena so we were able to get away and enjoy each other for a little bit. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and just reassured our love for each other and how perfect our family is with our new little bundle of joy! So for now we are just watching him grow more and more every day and thanking god for all of the blessings we have had that are helping him stay healthy and get healthier. He is fighting and fighting and we know he has those from above helping him even more!! When we see him smile every day it just melts our hearts, the love we have for each other has now blossomed into our beautiful baby boy~
