Dad's return to the NICU

A few followers of the blog have mentioned to us that Emily looks amazing, but where's Steve?  Contrary to popular believe Emily is not monopolizing 'lil Toler, however Steve was under the weather this weekend and wanted to be confident in his health prior to a return to the NCIU.  After a few days of rest and recovery Dad was given a clean bill of health from his doctor and has returned .

Dad & Son
As promised 'lil Toler's breathing has improved over the course of the day and his CPAP was in fact replaced with a small breathing tube.

hello
Toler's health is continuing to progress as expected, our doctor and nurses have communicated a steady stream of very positive reinforcement.  For now we continue to want to see the little man eat, rest, and grow.  Each day Mom & Dad continue to enjoy 'care time' cleaning Toler's eyes, mouth, and diaper four times daily.  Every night it is hard to say goodbye to our little man, but he is in fantastic care and we anxiously await to see him the next morning.

Emily and I continue to be blessed with the love and support from our amazing family and friends and we cannot wait to introduce Toler to everyone.

Love,
Steve, Emily and Toler
