Greyson had his bellybutton IV line removed yesterday. It only had a ten day life span before they start worrying about infection. Now, he has to have an IV in his hand. It took them three tries yesterday to find his tiny little veins. Even then, it only lasted a few hours before they had to stick him again. Poor guy.
He'll have to keep the IV going as they ween him off IV nutrition and get him on his mamma's milk. He gets fed every three hours using a line that goes directly into his stomach. Not fair to get fed without tasting it! He's up to 23 ml of milk. Although that's not much, it seems like a lot compared to the 3 - 5 mls he started with.
It's neat to see him recognizing our voices. He has just started opening his eyes when he hears us. That's pretty cool!

Oh I miss him so much. I can't wait to see him again. I'm glad to hear he's starting to get some of that good mama milk. It sounds like he enjoys IV's as much as his Mom does. :(
