Woo Hoo!

I woke up this morning to a happy and smiling baby!

The best news is his WBC is 800 and his ANC is 560!  Great progress overnight.  Will ask the doctor this morning what the WBC and ANC levels need to be, consistently, in order to go home.  We continue to offer Cutler bottles of formula or pedialyte in the hopes he starts to take one or the other…so far no luck.  Will try more baby food today, as he seems at least interested in eating that most days.

More thanks to my mom Betty and step-mom Barbara who come to the hospital to hang with Cutler!  I don’t know how families do this if they didn’t have someone to give them a break.  Aunt Pat comes back into rotation on Sunday, gone but not forgotten since before Thanksgiving, to allow Barbara to make  her trip to NY to visit her “other” grandson, Mikus.

  4. This is just such great news! Thanks for sharing the adorable picture.

    I’m sure this doesn’t mean anything, but I thought it doesn’t hurt to share. Our grandson Jack who is 7 months old is not interested in a bottle very much right now either. He prefers food. Could it be that Cutler is just “not into a bottle” any more?

  5. Stupendous News!

    Just think….when he’s in his teens, you’ll just be praying he’s limiting his intake of Mickey D’s or some other junk food place!

    Wishing you all a blessed week!
