Day 6: Green Stool

Today, when we got to the hospital to visit Paxton we were pleased to find that one of his favorite nurses had made a sign to hang on his isolette with pictures of him, along with his hand and footprints on it.
Paxton's umbilical cathethers were taken out and replaced with catheters in his right arm. It looks like his belly button might be an "outie", but it's still too early to tell.
Antibiotics were discontinued today, but Paxton's still receiving pain medication when needed as well as fluids.
Later today, his belly started looking a bit bloated, so they took some x-rays and determined that it was just a little bit of gas. We've also begun to notice a change in Paxton's stool. When we changed his diaper today, it was green.
Tonight's bedtime story was "I Love You Because You're You." which is a great book. Watching Paxton sleep is always a touching experience.
Moppy (Scott's mom) came by to visit tonight at the Ronald McDonald house and ate lasagna and salad with us that she had prepared. The rest of the house got to have some as well. It was definitely a hit.
The next thing on tonight's schedule is eating brownies with milk and watching "The Bachelor".
