The LONGEST 2 weeks of our lives...

So we were finally given a final answer that Easton needed to be in the NICU a total of 14 days to complete his antibiotic treatment (starting from the day he went in). He has already completed 6 and has 8 more to go. I know we are very lucky because we hear of other little babies down in the NICU that have to be in there for much much longer then he does, have already been in there for awhile, and are in much worse conditions, but I just feel like this time is going sooo slow! We cherish the time we are in there with him and absolutely hate when we are home without him, but we try to find things to do to take our minds off of it so we don't get too depressed (almost impossible!!) On a more positive note, we love being able to hold him while we are there and feed him, he melts our hearts every time we spend the day with him. We usually try to be there throughout the day because we know we need to get our rest at night so that he has strong parents to come home to. Also they decided to do a piccline in his little arm to give him is antibiotic for the remainder of the time he is there because they were having to replace his IVs so often and were having to do it mostly in his head where his veins are bigger and more noticeable. I'm glad they decided to do this because it broke my heart every time they removed one because it left bruises on his scalp. I know those will get better but I know how painful they can be and just hate that our little man had to go through it all! Overall he is recovering very well and looks as healthy as can be, I can't wait for next week when he is home with us!

Here are some pics I promised....
