Update

Our little man sure is fighting hard. His bilirubin levels have been gradually coming down the past two days. It's slow and steady, but the numbers are moving in the right direction so we are thrilled. They have lowered enough that he is no longer in the 'critical' zone but now in the 'high risk' zone. He remains in the NICU with his IV and constant monitoring although they are now letting me hold him while he eats......Hallelujah! The last doctor said he thought Cameron would be here another 5-7 days. I'm still hopeful that it won't need to be that long. Gratefully the days seem to be passing quickly for me. The nurses and staff here have been phenomenal. Everyone down to the janitors have been so wonderfully friendly and helpful. It has helped a lot since I am here most of the day alone. Cameron has had the same fabulous nurse during the day for the past 3 days. It's been nice to develop a relationship with her. It's no fun having a brand new nurse to get to know every 12 hours. I'm sorry if you've emailed or called and I haven't responded. If I'm not pumping or trying to catch up on sleep, I'm in with Cameron. Please know that we really appreciate your concern, thoughts and prayers.
