Carter was excited to see us today because it meant he got to get out of the isolette. He is resting comfortaby on Katie doing some Kangaroo Care. Kangaroo Care must have been too boring for him because about one hour into it he decided to wet his diaper so bad Katie got peed on. So then Daddy had to creatively change his diaper and was laughed at by the nurse when she walked in and saw me in gloves. To my defense I was going in blind I had to be prepared for anything. On that note they did increase his feedings again. He is now eating 18 mL every 3 hours. The Nurse Practitioner said that they had decreased his TPN to a minimum now and if they can continue to increase his feeds over the next day or two his PICC line will be able to be removed and he will not need the TPN anymore. His weight is still at 2 pounds 12 ounces. Check back later and I think Carter will have a new picture for everyone. He has been posing since we got here, and yawning.
