What a good boy

Lots of people are jealous at me. Paul is such a good kid that he sleeps 9-10 hours through the night. Yes, I do admit that we are so lucky. He is also not a very needy child, except when he wants attention. He will make noises to get our attention. But once we look at him, he smiles big. Oh such a joyful face!
We are glad to have him and feel very blessed.

Starts cooing

Paul loves to talk. Whoever talks to him (stranger or not), he will coo. I think he takes every opportunity to do so. So if you get to see him, talk to him. He’ll love you :)

Happy Easter!

Paul Slezak will participate in his first Easter holiday today. He is doing well, and we are staying until 4pm today so he can have his bilirueben checked again to make sure it is holding steady or dropping, and not raising back up quickly. His reading is currently at 11, well within reasonable range. If all goes well we may be able to take him home for an Easter dinner, but we’ll see.

Mom is still doing very well and gaining more energy by the day. Dad is utterly exhausted after 3 days of sleep depervation and caring for Mom and Paul.

Still Stretching

The latest this evening is that Paul’s biliruben score has come down slightly, but is back below the 75th percentile which makes things much less concerning. Everyone in the family noticed that Paul’s skin was losing the yellow tint as well. We’ve had to keep supplementing his food with formula to keep his bowels moving, but he is doing great feeding outside of formula too. ;) Everything is moving the direction it needs to go home tomorrow, but everyone here works on an hour by hour basis. We may find out a little more here in a bit if they can reach the doctor to update him/her. If we hear something I’ll post it on Twitter or Facebook.

(I’ve added the twitter updates to the lower right side of this blog. [You may need to scroll down.] These are updated instanneously, so you can keep track of things here as well.)

Thanks to everyone for watching us and caring for us from afar. Both Pania and I appreciate it!
