So busy that this post is about 6 weeks late. Born January 10, 2011 at 5:07 pm CT time Zurich weighted an amazing 3lbs even and was 15 in long.
Born 13 weeks early at 27 weeks 2 days he has given us so much joy already.
Currently he is about 4lbs 7 oz and thriving in the past 24 hours he is taking feedings every 3 hours 38mls over 2 hours. Feedings have been his hardest struggle. But is taking to them well this time around.
In his six week stay ( so far) he has had two blood transfusions , Reminding us of the importance of blood donations to both my husband and I who have done our part in the past to actively donate.
We have met so many families and amazing nurses during our NICU stay in Wichita. During the past 6 weeks we (or I as my husband comes down on his days off and barring any illness our older children come to stay on the weekends) at the Ronald McDonald House across the street from the hospital.
If you have ever wandered about a McDonald house let me tell you they are heaven sent. And I will be sure never to forget this stay and will be doing my best to return in the future to do what I can to help. Even something as simple as collecting pop tabs off of soda cans in a help. At the house I am currently at over half of the utility bill alone is paid for by recycled tabs donated by those in the community!
