Sunday, 3/13
Today was a nice, quiet day...just like we like it. Dinky's CRP level came down to 3.5 which was a huge relief! We think that number is reflecting inflammation vs. an infection. Dinky appeared very comfortable today and didn't seem to have as many "episodes" with the brady and desaturations. His feeding is up to 8.5 mL an hour! Pretty soon he'll just be getting milk and won't need the TPN anymore. That will be nice.
David and Katy came by for a visit which was great. The new NICU has a nice waiting room so Nye and Ruby had a "kid friendly" place to hang out during their visit. Nye drew a great picture of Dinky even though he's only seen his picture. We really enjoyed their stopping by.
A new doctor starts with Dinky tomorrow. We'll really miss the doctor that's been on the last 2 weeks but I think he'll continue to check in on Dinky.

Well, wee Dinky, you've been in your new home for almost a week now, and it seems things are looking up. Plus, a lot has happened since the move: You made history when your mom told the world about your big poop; the nurses had to restrain you to prevent your swinging from your tubes; Uncle David visited you for the first time; and your mom and dad continued to inspire everyone with their love, strength, and spirit.
Keep it up, little guy. You've got the whole world in your corner.
love, dobie
