July 30, 2008 - Day 50

Today we reached a huge milestone in our journey through the NICU. Devin and I walked in to see Brendan and he was out of his isolette in a open crib. YAY! They of course had him all bundled up in a sleeper, two blankets and a knitted hat one of the nurses moms made but he was out of the isolette. The next 24-48 hours will be the true test to see if Brendan can maintain his temperature on his own. If he can he will stay out of the isolette if not they will put him back in the isolette and try again another time. This is a HUGE step towards Brendan coming home....we are so excited! Other then that big news Brendan had a pretty good day one brady and a couple small desats all around his feedings. Tonight I held Brendan and let me tell you it is so much easier taking him out of that crib, even with all the tubes and wires, then it was taking him in and out of his isolette. A great day for us!
