I got to hold him 3 times yesterday. He responds when he hears my voice and opens his eyes while I'm with him. I'm going home today so I will upload some pics of him then. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers ladies.

Could be anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month. Depends on him. He still has to learn to eat from a bottle (and me!) And he has to stop having apnea episodes. Those are his only concerns right now (and those are very minor issues). Once those are under control, he should get to come home. We have high hopes to have him home well before Thanksgiving.

Thank you everyone! I'll work on pics asap lol. We are both doing great. Im home, he's off his light treatments, for jaundice, they took out his I.v. today (it was in his head 
) and he has maxed out the amount of food he can have at this size, lol. He's such a little fighter. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I'm sure those have helped us both.

Wonderful news from his nurse yesterday...so long as he continues doing exactly what he's doing...there's a possibility of having him home by this weekend...I won't get my hopes up cause it could still be longer, but...
oh thats great news Nichole!
I had my anaesthetic review last week - I think he'd prefer to do an elective section but he hasnt recommended that - if I had an elective Id have a spinal and epi - if Martha turns and I can do a v labour then I have to have an epi whether I need one or not - to see if it works - he thinks it wont - just in case I need an emergency c section - if I do and the epi hasnt worked then it would have to be a gen anaesthetic - yikes - have been avoidng them for 20 years!! He said theyd have to have an ITU bed available and I'd probs be on a ventilator until I could be brought round - he said he didnt think it would be life threatening for me but that it may take a day or so to wake me
gah. Think would prefer an elective so am hoping martha stays breech / transverse tbh!! If I had v labour it would be at the fore front of my mind (and dh) that it may turn into an e c section - I mean who knows it may all go to plan and all will be well but the idea of being in ITU for the first few days is awful - I mean obv Ill do whatever it takes to get Martha here safe and sound - but I think if I had the choice Id have a planned section
think Ill mention my concerns to the mw next week - what would you ladies think? The anaesthetist has sent a letter to my consultant so we'll see what she concludes I spose!
