A short notice about some important developments:
Over the past few days the nurses have moved me from my terrarium and into an open crib. My weight has surpassed 1600grams(I'm closer to 1700) and today I am 1 month old.
Mom just called Dad and explained that the nurse practicioner in Elmira felt I have been doing well enough over the past few days that I could be transfered to the hospital in Ithaca was early as today!
You see, Ithaca is equiped to deal with premees that are 32 weeks or older. As I was (they think) 29 weeks and 6 days, Ithaca was unable to give me the care I would have needed, so Mom was transfered to Elmira and I was born here.
A move to Ithaca would make Mom and Dad's lives so much better. Right now it is a 1hr+ drive from Dryden to Elmira and Mom visits me every day. She leaves home ~9am and gets back home ~4 or 5pm.
If I get moved to Ithaca, that makes it more like a 20 minute drive to visit me.
I will post something as I learn more.
