Things continue to look up for Sam. He has now been getting protein in his IV for a full 24 hours and so far so good. He is graduating to formula tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. Hopefully he will continue to show no signs of illness and have a healthy appitite so we can bring him home soon. After a full 8 days in ICU his big brother is anxiously awaiting the day that he can hold him.
