A new home

After working diligently on feeding today in the CICU area, we were finally told that a room on the 9th floor had opened up and we were the lucky winners!  So Davis and I just moved up and are enjoying the new room.  He is being a real champ today and is increasing the time he takes milk by mouth every time we feed.  He still gets pretty tired after about 15 min or so, but each time is a workout to make him stronger.  The docs/nurses/feeding specialists are all very impressed by his progress.  :)  So we'll continue working on longer and longer feeds and hopefully cut out the feeding tube feeds completely before we go home. (small yellow tube going into his nose and down to his stomach)  Still no telling how long this will take, but we're getting closer every day.  In the meantime, there is a lot of bonding and cuddling going on.  Our new room is much more private and we now have our own bathroom, TV, HUGE crib for Davis, sleeper couch, and a door!  We were in an open bay area in the CICU, so this is a huge improvement.  I'm a little sad to say goodbye to the amazing doctors, nurses and staff that took such good care of us in the CICU, but am very excited to be on our way to taking Davis home.  Let the countdown begin!
