Brantley's 1st Halloween...among other things!!!

So, it wasn't much of a Halloween, we didn't get to dress him up or take him out to see family or go trick-or-treating BUT he did get to have his little belly line taken out! He is now completely IV free!! The only tube is his feeding tube that he has through his nose, and hopefully by next weekend we can have that taken out!! But that is my hopeful thinking!! He really is doing very well though. We did have a little worry about the sutures of his brain fusing together now (which really shouldn't happen for many many years to come) but we had an ultra sound done and everything is looking great!! His head and brain are growing the way that they should! Just waking up so we can change his bum, take his temperature, and hold him!
Special one-on-one time with daddy

He was wide awake! He would just watch David and his eyes would follow him where ever he would go!
The before bed, you can see is jaundice light, the IV's and the heating bed!

He has graduated to a better baby bed, an open crib! He is holding his own temperature well and all of his IV's are gone and so is the heat and jaundice lamps.


He is so tiny, but is gaining his weight back!
We love our little guy!!!
