    Spoke with my son a little
    Spoke with my son a little while ago. They moved his room tonite. He was directly across from the nurses station and now he is further down the hall. When they changed his diaper this evening he actually cried. He has put on some weight. Wants to eat but having problems latching on. Becki is still pumping and right now it seems easier for him to take the bottle. This has been a grueling and exhausting experience for them but we are so grateful for his tears and desire to eat. He's still on IV antibiotics and the round should be finished this Saturday. I pray they keep him as long as necessary. My son thinks they may release him on Sunday.

    Again cant tell you how much your info has helped.Thank you so very much. :)

    Hang in there and remember
    Hang in there and remember that each day Troy is maturing and getting stronger. It may take him awhile longer to figure out how to latch on the breast, but don't get discouraged as premies suffer less nipple confusion and seem ok with switching to breast when they are developmentally ready. Just keep trying and I promise that that lightbulb will go off soon. That is great that he has put on any weight as all newborns lose at first, so that is an excellent sign. It sounds like Becki is an awesome mom and doing a great job. Give him a big hug from his Aunt Pink Sister and please know that my prayers are with you all!

    sounds like he is fighting - hungry, and showing spirit by
    crying. How are his wbc counts? hoping and praying the infection is under control and ready to leave his little body.

    Keeping Troy, his parents and grandparents in prayer. How's little Brooke doing?

    What a great mom and grandma Troy has!!!
    Pumping is not an easy task! But it ensures he is getting the BEST nutrition possible!
    God bless all of your family, but especially little Troy. Thanks for keeping us informed.

    So glad to hear that baby Troy is doing better. My grandson was in the ICU when he was born and I know how hard it is to see them in there. They look so fragile, but they are stronger then we think. Will keep him in my prayers.
