4 months tomorrow!!!!

Wesley will be 4 months old tomorrow. He now weighs 7 lbs 4.8 oz. I'm so happy to see him grow, but I'm sad to have to see him grow in the NICU instead of at home. But they provide him all the medical support he needs and has great nurses giving him attention. He is just getting over a urinary tract infection. He actually came down with a fever through all of this. The doctors are a little concerned about how easily he comes down with infections, so they will be keeping him on some antibiotics more long term. The sickness caused a little set back in his breating, but he seems to be getting back to where he was before the infection. We have a meeting with the doctors and other NICU staff on Monday 01/26 to discuss his progress and further treatment plan. He obviously has some major medical issues, and although he could overcome them in time, it will still be a lengthy process. Hopefully he will continue to improve and make his homecoming date sooner rather than later!
