Trevor made huge strides again. The nurse attempted to give him some breast milk in a bottle and he grabbed that thing and guzzled it down like he has been waiting a week for the opportunity. Then I got to hold him for the first time.<\/p>\n

We went back again 3 hrs later to see him get his first bath. He was not one bit happy about bath time and protested vigorously until he was red like a lobster. We tried another feeding and he had a hard time staying awake after the bath tantrum. Once he realized he had a chance to eat, he took down the 5ml of milk like a champ. They will be feeding every 3hrs and trying to ramp him up to a full meal so that his umbilical line can come out. Once he is eating the proper quantity, they will want him to try to breastfeed.<\/p>\n

Bill put aside his fear of the tinyness and held him too and I think he has been cured.<\/p>\n

Brendan is making improvements in baby steps. The cardiologist stopped in tonight and says that he wants to see the lungs heal up and then evaluate his heart again so we will know better what is in his future. He is still bundled up tight with lots of wires and monitors and a nurse at his side 100% of the time. They are hoping to move him to a less severe ventilator and they will put in a PICC line for his medications that will be more stable than the umbilical line. He had pretty blue toes when we were there this morning and tonight they were looking much better. <\/p>\n

Pictures Update!<\/strong>

Oh the torture of being touched with a wet wipe!
