Never Ending NICU

I had my precious baby boy on January 31, 2013. It is the night of February 4, 2013 and we still have no idea when we will be able to leave the hospital.

Once I gave birth to my son, he was whisked off to the NICU. I didn't even get to see him until five hours after he was born. We were given deadlines of when we would be able to go home, but none of them have panned out and now they wont give us any specific time because we have been so frustrated with them getting our hopes up only to have them dashed. It seems like him being in the NICU will never end.

Although there are no answers as to when we can finally go home and get back to normalcy, there is still hope. He can't be here forever, for one, but he is also showing signs of getting better. His levels are getting better and he is more active and aware of his surroundings. Oh, and the fact that he is eating like crazy!

I don't want to put a date on when we will be leaving the hospital because that just sets me up for disappointment, I am hopeful that we are moving in the right direction.

My prayers are with those that have their babies in the NICU with more health issues than our little man.
