Today is day 31 of our admission...and since it is 1800 now there is no chance of going home today. I really am starting to go stir crazy! This room seemed so big when we first arrived now it seems tiny, and very prison like.
Ben's pain is starting to be a bit better controlled. He is still on oral morphine a couple times a day as well as oral ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The infection is finally starting to resolve after a week of antibiotics. Friday the doctors had Ben's IV removed and he is on oral cephalexin.

His feeds have been kept on the same volume and frequency but we have graduated to just breast milk. Tomorrow we will meet with the dietitian and see if we can go home on just regular feeds.
Wound care is all up to Ashley and I now (although we have been doing it all along) and the wounds are finally starting to look less angry. I hope that means that we can finally go home!!
Today my dad brought Victoria to visit, along with my Uncle David and Aunt Eleanor. To celebrate I dressed Ben in his blue and white stripe outfit his grand-mum sent him from the UK.
Here are some pictures of Ben with his big sister!! They really look alike!! Too cute!
