Then...
And Now!
And Now!
March 17th to 31st
It has been a long emotional road that no doctors or nurses could have ever prepared us for. Although we would have thought that Dylan's life would begin when he came home, he is working on his 12th week of life and it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to cope with the fact that he is sill in the hospital.
Amidst the emotions that we feel in not being able to bring him home yet, Dylan's doctors and nurses have stressed the fact that his course has been better than most babies that are born this premature. It does not make it any easier, but thinking back at his amazing progress we continue to try and be patient.
The last few weeks have gone by slow, especially for mom who is physically and mentally ready to take him home. Dylan is now 6 1/2 lbs compared to 1lb 10oz at his lowest point and aside from not being able to take his milk from a bottle, he is completely ready to come home.
The nurses keep trying to reassure us that the "light bulb" will come on soon, but it doesn't make it any easier. We are just dying to have him home and hold him whenever we want.
So, as sad as we are, we are very happy that he is so strong.
