Update : Afternoon, Sunday January 7th 2007

Thankfully, it's been yet another day of positive news. Coen's infection has cleared, his red blood cell levels are increasing, his white blood cell levels have normalized, and he is regularly peeing and pooing (for lack of better terms). These late morning doctor reports are what we live by.

As a result of this positive news, the blood medication has been stopped and his feeding amount has been increased from 10 ML (2 tablespoons) to 1 ounce. This is wonderful as it is obvious how hungry he is. Although he gets the nutrition he needs from the IV, he craves some bulk in his stomach. He needs the baby equivalent of a nice TK burger (which I miss from Huntington Beach).

After being an awesome and patient cheerleader during the delivery process, Grandma Sherry Schmirler (Tauni's mom) finally got to hold her latest grandchild. Tauni told me later that Coen was looking at her like "Uh, you aren't my mom".
