Update on Drew

Drew is going to be staying in the NICU until Friday.  It is likely that he has an infection of some kind (most likely Group B Strep) and has to have 7 days of antibiotics through an IV.  Other than having the IV, he is doing great!  He nurses or takes a bottle every three hours and pretty much sleeps peacefully inbetween.  He is off the oxygen now and will probably be off IV fluids in the next day.  As of right now, Troy and I do a lot of back and forth between the hospital and home while Grandma Parker is staying with Taylor and Ben.  It's a bit exhausting but thankfully it should only be for a week!

Taylor was SO excited to see Drew.  She can't wait for him to come home!

 Ben was SO excited about the "snack room"......they had their fair share of snacks and I have requests to bring more home when I go to the hospital to feed Drew.
 Drew did not really like the "bath" we gave him.  His hair was nasty and needed washed though!
 No tubes on my face!!!

 And now he is wearing clothes and a sleepsack too!
