Nicholas has had a good couple of days. He is able to take two bottles a day now and is taking 32cc every 3 hours. He finished both of his bottles today. We got official word that we are leaving on Wednesday at 0900 from Rainbow. There is a company called Air Ambulance Specialists that specialize in medical transport and will pick us up here and end at St. Mary's hospital NICU. Denise R. will fly with Nicholas and Denise M. will fly commercial and arrive later in the day on Wednesday. Nicholas is now 4 lbs and 16.5 inches long. He is changing every day. All of the Iowa friends will probably recognize the socks on Nicholas's feet. His friends, the Huston's, thought we should set everyone straight as Nicholas heads back to Badger land. We're in Buckeye country, heading to Badger land but Nicholas wants everyone to know he is a Hawkeye fan at heart. We'll try to post tomorrow but if not, we'll post once we are back in Madison. We're grateful for your continued support, prayers and thoughts.
Oh Nicholas, we are so glad to see those Hawkeye socks upon your tiny feet. Judy says we will be glad to provide some for you when the feet are size 14. And, now you have a ticket to fly. Your first plane trip and you won't even remember it. Glad there is an organization that helps out like that though. Plus, Wednesday will be your 2 month birthday. What a gift you are receiving. Up to 4 pounds and eating heartily sounds great. Keep up the good work for your Mommas and you. We picked you up a little something while we were in Florida. It will be going to Madison soon for your approval.
ReplyDeleteHave a good flight on Wednesday. We will be thinking of you.
Love,
Judy/Dave
