HAPPY Halloween!


Hyrum is doing really well! We were delighted when we went to the hospital today. I'll let the video below explain:


Hyrum is also done with one of the antibiotics, his Bilirubin counts are way down, and he's doubled his feeding again to 12 ml (.4 oz) every 3 hours, he's off all his sedatives and his pain killers (i.e. morphine). He still has to let the other antibiotics do their job, probably for 9 more days (dependent upon the germatologist's suggestions). He just keeps doing better and better. The nurses say that he's doing amazing. We totally agree, plus he's about the cutest thing there is:

  2. I am so glad he is doing so well. I have been thinking of you guys every day. It has only been a few weeks since our little guys got out of the NICU. It is a difficult experience for sure. Hang in there. He is a beautiful baby. We will keep you in our prayers.

  4. Soooo happy for you guys! How great to get to be able to see him looking around and making noise--even hiccuping like his little cousin.

    Congratulations on the big improvements...he is quite the little trooper!
