Hello Everyone,

 
Just a quick update on Easton.  Today was a great day.  Easton was able to get out of the 'tanning bed', his jaundice level has dropped and the Doctor ordered him out from underneath the photo therapy light.  His bottle was increased to 30cc, or 1 ounce.  He ate well using his bottle all day long.  I just called the NICU tonight to check in with his nurse and she said he weighed in at 4 lbs and 8 ozs.  So, he is up one-half ounce!  Also, he was disconnected from his IV fluids and the Doctor mentioned that he might remove the IV site tomorrow.  The Echo Cardiogram report was not received by the Doctor.  He told us that he believes everything was normal, or else he would have been contacted by now. 
 
Thanks for everyone's support.  I am going to go to work tomorrow and through the weekend, unless something changes.  Dee will be going over to be with Easton tomorrow.  We will give another update tomorrow evening.
 
Here are some pictures we took today.
