Today I showed up at the hospital at 10:15 this morning and stayed until 8:15 tonight. I just sat there and enjoyed my son in my arms all day. It was very nice to be able to hold him, kiss him and talk to him. The only bad part of the day was that Micah had to get circumcised. Stephen and I did get to go into a parenting room to somewhat relax and feed Micah during the last feeding. He sucked down 55 ml in about 15 minutes. We could not believe it. Go Micah!! On to the good news as long as his body temperature stays up tonight then he will be going home tomorrow afternoon and our family will be back together at last. Please still keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

We are making some progress. Micah was taken off the sunlight tonight, but still has to stay in his incubator till his temperature stabilizes. We are still unsure of a deperature date. On an exciting note Micah had his first bath today. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are so ready to be at home with both of our boys. I am to tired to write anymore tonight. Goodnite
Today has been an emotional roller coaster . Micah took 30 ml of formula at his 11 o'clock feeding and then 35 ml at his 2 o'clock feeding. But then they decided that he needed a suntan. His bilirubin was elevated and he wasn't keeping his body temperature up so they have put him in an incubator with sunlight. There was a little problem with his body temperature at his 5 o'clock feeding so they would not let me hold him nor feed him which was heartbreaking but when we went back at 8 o'clock I was able to hold him and feed him. He did really good at his last feeding and took 40 ml. FYI - he has to take 40 ml multiple times before he can come home so we were really excited. Please keep us in your prayers. I am exhausted from a very long day. I will update again tomorrow.
Micah Wesley Stritikus was born March 28th. He weighed in at 5 lbs. 15 ozs and was 18 3/4 inches long.
Noah wanted a Thomas the Train Birthday Party. His "big" present was a Escalade Truck. He thinks he is so cool driving it around. Also he still thinks he is two not three and he still wants to have a Monster Truck Birthday Party. He thinks he should have "2" birthday parties.
