Aren't I Adorable.



Well, Mick is off of the CPAP. The medical crew was happy enough with his oxygen levels that they removed it for now.

Michael showed his appreciation by eating up a storm. He drank 55 cc's of breast milk from a bottle, the most he's had yet. And loved it! While the feeding tube will stay in to help ensure that Mick's gaining weight, this is a great sign of improvement.

I love all the adorable pictures of Mick! He looks bigger, stronger and more alert every single day. What a fighter! Hopefully there's a TV in the NICU so he can watch the Lakers beat the Celtics (had to get a plug in for Southern Cal). Oops - I hope Caitlin doesn't remove my post because of that comment:) I think I can already hear the "boos" coming from the Boston fans.

Lots of love and prayers from the Left Coast,

Michael is such a beautiful baby. After all he's been through, you should be comforted to know he will be a fighter his whole life.
Look forward to hearing it's time to go home!
