Day 70: Frankie is 10 weeks old!

Yes it's true... Frankie is 10 weeks old today! That means we have been in the NICU for a good old 10 weeks! Sheesh!

Frankie got his last dose of steroids at 8am this morning. I'm so nervous! Please send prayers his way that he doesn't go into a PPHN crisis! Pray that he does just fine without steroids and we can bust out of here! I have faith and a good feeling that all will be well, I am just a mother and worry! I had a worrying issue before I became a mother, now it's ten times worse (thank you grandma Swardson for that)!

Today, Nano came up this morning. Then my amazing Michigan family came by to say goodbye to the little fella. :( They head back north tomorrow morning. We will miss you Beth, Hannah, Ben, and Alan! Love you guys a lot! Frankie will miss you! As will I!

Frankie still spits up every now and then but it is just typical baby spit up. His O looks great. Still looking smaller and smaller each day! He is still on his Viagra (that's long term) and totally disinterested in bottle feeding. He is now 8lbs 9 1/2 oz.

Soap + water + 20 seconds of scrubbing = good clean hands that can touch my baby Frankie!

Frankie passes a lot of gas and sounds like a fart machine! I never thought I would be holding my baby, laughing so hard there's tears rolling down my face at the sounds his rear end makes. It is so funny!

Right now he's having a rough time staying asleep. So, I'm going to sign off and snuggle the little man. Love to you all and thanks for the prayers!
