truly for his sake though, this is probably a good thing to have him stay a few more days. he has his stressful eye exam tomorrow morning which may wear him out and possibly his circumcision (which isn't too pleasant either). if we were to bring him home after those two procedures, he may have had difficulties with eating or adjusting. so this truly is a blessing in disguise. we will just hope that it goes better for a wednesday discharge.

minor set back
so... eagerly i walked into the nicu expecting to see ethan in his open crib, but was shocked to see him still in his isolette. the nurse informed me that after being in the isolette with no heat just bundled in two blankets, he stopped feeding well. so they made the decision last night at 9pm to turn back on the heat and unbundle him to see what happens. he is back to feeding well and they will attempt again once he has eaten well for 24 hours. so we are looking at maybe wednesday now as his coming home day. let's cross our fingers and hope he does better the second time around.
