We've Graduated!

Last night the Drs said that Jayce was doing so well that the graduated him from NICU care and moved him over to Special Care. It is still right in the same area but the Special Care has a different nursing staff that is more specialized in take home care practices and they let the parents be more hands on (not like we weren't already...Keith did change 2 poopy diapers yesterday!). So this is one step closer to going home! Yeh. It was kinda sad last night to leave behind the awesome nurses that we've gotten to know so well over the past week and a half. One of the nurses Sue was so great and came in to check in on him today. I think they've really begun to look forward to his daily improvements as much as we have.

They also did wean him off the Morphine last night. And they actually decreased it by 50%, which is a huge step....the other Dr mentioned only weaning him by 10% increments. His scores were a little higher over night so we are hoping that don't have to go back up in dose. With Keith and I here today we can hopefully keep him soothed enough to stabilize through this latest wean. We pretty much spend the whole day here whenever we can. But now that Keith has gone back to work, Keith & my mom have been taking turns spending the weekdays with me here. Hopefully we have only one more full week here and we can bring the little bugger home.

Like Keith questioned the other night..."do we have a new baby?" Every day we wake up by ourselves and it just feels so strange as we know we gave birth to Jayce but he isn't with us yet. We both just can't wait to get him home.
