That is how the Carter's Doctors refer to today so I will use that and call it a medical term. Carter is doing good today! We are awaiting results of his head ultrasound that was done yesterday. We were worried his billi levels were going back up and he'd be back under the lights sporting his shades BUT his levels went back down so no more sunglasses for now at least!
Carter has a feeding tube that leads straight to his belly. He is now geting 2mls every 2 hours. He is big stuff! They've doubled his feedings the last three days in a row b/c he has been tolerating the breastmilk so well.
They had to turn up the settings on his vent today. (how he breathes) The numbers are still low and they aren't concerend. The little guy just needed a little more help breathing last night/today. The nurses told me usually they have to up the settings on day 3 or 4 so since he made it until day seven that is good.
Carter is a little fighter. We love him so much already. I'm on my way to visit him here in about an hour and then Luke and I will go up and see him later on tonight. We like to visit him when they do his "care" b/c we get to change his diaper and help with changing his linens etc. Ok that's all for now! I'll try to update daily...no promises. My little guy is keeping me busy and he isn't even home yet!

I love Carter's blog. Mom did a great job. Carter is such an amazing little guy. Have you considered changing his name to Tiger Murphy?
How are his little bitty toes doing?
Maybe we could all say a prayer for the artery in his right foot to flow down to his tiny toes and make them pink again.
Love Ya and Kiss Noises
