5/30/08

I got to start feeds yesterday. I get 5 cc's every 3 hours of full strength breast milk. I will finish my antibiotics on Monday. I am still on the full amount of TPN and the breast milk is added calories. I am supposed to move to the Pediatric ICU today. Mom and Dad were very upset the other night because the baby next to me tested positive for MRSA and that made them very uneasy. Mom talked to the doctors and told them about her concerns and the baby was eventually moved last night. I need to try and stay as healthy as possible while I am trying to grow.

Hey Hndsome!

As always we are glad to hear about your progress. Tell your Mom and Dad to keep them hopping there at the ICU. We think about you and your Mom and Dad every day and are lighting candles until the day you get to come home for good. It's probably better that the Piston's lost their final game tonight (they all had tee times on Sunday, for real)Wings went down. Next year you can watch, we need a good luck charm, buddy. Keep on eating!

Sending hugs and love,
Jamie & Norm Rapson

You don't know me, Benjamin, but I think about you every day and I pray that you'll soon be strong enough to go home. Keep fighting hard, sweetheart, and before you know it -- you'll be lying in your comfy little bed surrounded by all of your loving family and friends -- just where you belong. Phyllis Purcell xoxo
