Day 2

Posted on July 22, 2011 by William 5 Comments

Evan is officially one and a half days old. He’s been doing what I imagine most babies do for the first few days, sleep. His blood sugar was bouncing all over the place but that has stabilized. We’re trying to get him to eat on his own so that he does not need the feeding tube but it’s proving difficult with the people in the NICU shoveling 30mL of food into him every 3hrs like it’s Thanksgiving dinner, it’s no wonder that he’s not hungry. The surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, until then he’ll be monitored in the NICU. Sarah has been discharged from the hospital but has one more night in a ‘nesting room.’ After that we will go back to the hotel here in Ann Arbor at least in theory. I doubt we’ll spend much time there, we just won’t have a room in the hospital.

Here are several pictures from the last couple days…
