Update

They were able to stop Justin's IV fluids and remove his feeding tube today. His blood-sugar levels are good and he's eating like a champ. The nurse told me he weighed 9lbs 5oz - he's not a small baby!

They will be giving him his last does of antibiotics at 2pm tomorrow if all goes as scheduled and they want to keep him for 24 hours after that last dose. It sounds like we may get to "room-in" tomorrow night at the hospital. They give NICU parents a chance to check in to the hospital for a night and they leave you alone to take care of your kid on your own (with help nearby) for a night before sending you home.

Fingers crossed that everything goes as planned and we'll have the little guy home Tuesday!!
