Today Ben had to say good-bye to Grandma Rita as it was time for her to fly back to MN. It was so nice that Ben got to spend some quality time with her and I know he will miss her very much. Ben is already looking forward to a visit from Grandma Cathy next week. He keeps asking us when she is coming:) He is lucky to have so many people that love his so dearly.
Ben also got to say good-bye to his IV today. So now he is fully ramped up on bottle feeding and he is no longer getting any meds or nutrition through an IV. He gained another .5 oz today. Based on his progress, I have a feeling that the hospital will be discharging him earlier than they thought. Our little guy is quite the champ. Pat thinks he is going to be a quarterback because his lucky number seems to be 4. We met him in his 4th day of life. He is currently living in the 4th floor of the hospital. We have switched hotels twice and both times our rooms have been on the 4th floor. I think all new dad's dream about their sons being drafted into the NFL so I guess now it is Pat's turn to hope and dream about this little guy's future.
