Last night Christian and I dropped off the girls at a friends house (thanks Paul and Shannon) and headed to the hospital. I walked in first while Christian went to park. When I picked up the phone at the NICU (you have to call before the will let you in) the nurse said "HE GRADUATED". Which means Crue is out of the NICU and in the PCN (progressive care nursery). We were so excited. We now are able to hold him and there aren't any restrictions about the time the girls can go see him. They are starting to give him 2 bottles a day and he is doing great. We were able to feed him last night and it was so exciting. They gave us special instructions on how to hold him while he eats. We have to hold him up right and lift him from under his chin to help him breath, but he did so well. She said it might take him 1/2 and hour to eat and he might not finish. Luckily, Crue has his dad's appetite and finished the whole thing in 15 minutes with us stopping to burp him inbetween. Each day they will give him one more bottle and then if all else goes well we can bring him home. Thanks for everyones love and support it has really helped.
