They did a blood culture on him 44 hours ago which takes 48 hours to evaluate. So far it looks good so they're taking him off the antibiotics that they had him on "just in case."
Today, Kate called from the hospital and told me that a physical therapist came in to evaluate his squirms and stretches while sleeping and during his care time. She deduced that Cole gets the hiccups when he's upset, and is otherwise generally normal and mellow. I'm glad his physicality is evolving well so far.
Also, Kate reported that they've doubled the amount of milk they're giving him to 3 milliliters. That's like a monopoly piece top hat full of milk! Yum. I am encouraged by this progress because his digestive system is super delicate at this age, and the fact that it's responding well to feeding is huge.
And now, some pictures of the little doodlehead. This is my wedding ring:
We think he might have my head:
