Still here!

MR is being very patient with all of these blood sugar checks! We are still here in the hospital. They have him on an IV to make sure he's getting plenty of "good stuff" in him. The only frustrating thing is that he has to be in the NICU with an IV. So we're just going back and forth every 2 hours to feed him and play with him. Drew is pretty upset that he hasn't gotten to see his baby brother in the last few days. He can't come into the NICU since he was sick two days ago. His levels are looking good with the IV, so once they take him off of the fluids they will monitor the levels without the additional fluids. We are expecting to be home by Saturday. This is something they have told us will fix itself within a few days anyway, but they have explained that newborns' brain fuction can be effected if their blood sugar levels aren't stable. Everything is going to be just fine by Saturday...we're just ready to go home now!
