At least most of it was. I started out so sad and tired. I broke down and cried in front of Mic's nurse and Dr. I'm sure they thought I'd lost it. After I made it through that I felt better. Doug spent a good portion of the day with me. We got to visit and laugh out loud and love our baby, together. That's what I needed- together!
Mic started out the day with basically no improvements but by a little after 10am his bili rubins were at 12. They took one of Mic's lights off and tonight he will get to go off the lights completely. He was also dropped to 1 liter/oxygen. It was a little iffy all day as to whether or not he would be able to stay there but he was a fighter and he held on. This is so good! If he keeps it up they will try to drop him to 1/2 liter, then it's off the high pressure oxygen. This will be a huge step!
It looks like he will not be home for Christmas and I am trying to be ok with that. I will be home for Christmas to enjoy my other children and enjoy some magic of the season.

I'm sorry he won't be home for Christmas. He will celebrate a lot of Christmases with you and your family in the future. Soon he will be home...hang in there. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Steph, first congrats on his arrival! But at another time you are going through some pretty tough stuff. Please let me know what I can do for you. You are such a strong, amazing mom and I know you can make it through this. I will keep you and your cute family in my prayers. Keep us updated!
I haven't been in the blogging or FB loop lately so I totally missed your last couple of posts. Congratulations on Mic! I am sorry that it hasn't turned out how you hoped and you are all stuck in the NICU. It warms my heart though to read how much he loves his cuddle time and how it helps him. I hope you all can be home soon to enjoy him together.
It is amazing to me how a baby can recognize their mother and how skin to skin contact can make such a huge difference. You are a wonderful mother.
