Day 8

On our way to the hospital. There was talk last night of removing one of the umbilical lines today, and maybe introducing some breastmilk in the next few days. This decision doesn't have anything to do with Cayden's prognosis, so it's not a good sign, but it's nice to know I'm pumping for a reason.

Update:
We were at the hospital from ten to three. They removed Cayd's umbilical line and started him on breastmilk, a whopping one ml every three hours. He seems to be digesting it okay so far. I got to take Cayden's temperature a few times and change a poopy diaper. It's nice that they're letting us help out with his care. He's still not breathing on his own and the respiratory therapist said that at one week old, he should be, and that every day he doesn't makes it more unlikely he ever will. While we appreciated his candor, if was tough to hear. Still waiting on the final MRI and chromosome results. Headed back to the hospital soon.
