We stayed at the hospital last night in hopes of helping with Ivan’s 8:00 p.m. feeding. I held him and placed the bottle in his mouth and after some coaxing he sucked on it. I was so pleased. When we had tried it that morning it sort of upset him, but…

As the doctors did rounds this morning we were pleased to see a more positive doctor and likewise more positive approach when discussing Ivan’s condition. This morning there was no talk of spinal taps or PIC lines or any other new procedures. It was mo…

I have so much I want to write about but it is 10:00 p.m. and I need to lay down and go to sleep. So I will try to just give a few highlights and catch up later.
