Thomas update

Went to the hospital for noon feeding today. Got there to find his feeding tube and nasal cannula GONE! Only thing remaining is his IV. That’s been lowered way down and if the catheter goes bad they won’t replace it.

Mama got to feed him twice. He fell asleep during the first feeding and they threatened to replace the feeding tube if he didn’t finish his next bottle. 3:00 feeding rolled around and he drained that sucker in 10 minutes.

Hopeful that he gets home for Christmas.

He's beautiful

Good news! He looks healthy as a horse!

Awesome news doc....

Forgot this one. He’s in the Christmas spirit.

Worth repeating. Always save the best for last.

So awesome! He's a handsome little feller.

Super good news! Great looking little man.

That’s a good looking boy right there! Glad he is doing well

Good looking boy!

Good news. Hoping he’s home for a very merry Christmas.

He was giving you the stink eye in the second pic.

Good to hear, hope he’s home for Christmas.

Good looking kiddo! Congratulations Sir!

Great news and a handsome young man. I'm sure he will be home in time for his first Christmas!

Good looking little dude. Congrats.

Good deal Sir. Congrats, and get that little bugger home soon.

That was for his mama when she said he couldn’t go hunting in January.

'Looks peaceful and tuckered. Y'all have a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas sweet pea!

Thank You!

Great report, very cute little guy. Hope all are home for Christmas.

Nice looking kid. Good features. Congrats.

What an Angel
You and the wife have truly been Blessed

Chow down, Thomas...………………..
And hurry home...………..

That is great news Doc. It is heartwarming to see him doing better. We Joi you in your hope and prayer that
y’all get to take him home for Christmas. God is good.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Sir

good stuff. You'll never have a merrier Christmas. Or one with as little rest.

Good times ahead!

Great news, congrats!

Awesome news. Praying for y'all.

Little man is still doing great. Eating like a champ. He was jaundiced this morning and they put him under lights after lunch.

Worst news in this is that he will have to stay there for 24 hours after they stop the lights to make sure numbers stay down. That’s going to make it real tight for us getting him home for Christmas. Still hopeful for that though.

Dates and times don't matter. Him and her matter. It's gonna be the best Christmas ever, even if it's a few hours or days late. Christ was born in the Spring ya know...

Beautiful Baby Boy!! I'm glad he is doing well.

Best of wishes for Thomas and his loving family. Beautiful boy and proud family. Ya'll will make it home soon. Good luck

amazing

Congrats on that new baby! They are resilient little beings, I'm sure he'll be just fine.

The long eared gallute in the middle was the same way... spent a week in the NICU and a couple months on a puls/ox sensor and monitor at night at home. Scared the poop out of us as he was our first... then the little brother came, and the sky darkened... had he come first, there would not have been two!



Enjoy that baby and Merry Christmas!

Charlie

Christmas Eve update: he should come off last Bili light at midnight. As long as levels are good tomorrow morning and he continues to eat well, we should get him home tomorrow.


He currently appears to have his daddy’s appetite. Eating 2 ounces 3 hours on average.

Great news and a wonderful Christmas gift. Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

Great News!

Good to hear and here is to all of y’all being together tomorrow.

X6 Merry Christmas.

Stuck at work tonight and tomorrow, That right there putt a smile on my face. Congrats and Merry Christmas

I'm hoping all goes well! He's quite the Christmas gift.

Love the updates and good news. Sure hope Thomas gets to spend Christmas at your home. Merry Christmas either way.

Best Christmas present y'all have ever gotten. Glad to hear it.

A little off topic but this is a very good read.
