Micah's First Days (Days 7-11)

Day 7- They decided to back off on Micah's heart medicine a bit, because it was making part of the beat rest too long. They were still feeding him through the feeding tube because he was losing weight.
Day 8- Micah's billiruben levels were a little high, but they chose to just monitor it, as it wasn't anything to worry about too much yet. He was still losing weight. We were able to put him in his own clothes, and he looked so cute!
Day 9- Micah didn't lose as much weight as before. He was more alert and eating better.
Day 10- The feeding tube came out! Micah's billiruben levels were down. He lost his umbilical cord. I got the first picture with his eyes open.
Day 11- They said we would be able to go home the next day most likely. I have to admit, I was skeptical. They had said that we may be able to go home twice before this.
