It's the final countdown

Things are going great. We were moved to the floor yesterday. He left the nicu without any fluids going into him. He still has his picc line but that is coming out tonight. He is nursing on demand and doing great. They check his sugars right before he eats. He was on a little insulin in the nicu which is normal after surgery. If he has two consecutive sugars over 250 they start him on a little insulin. He hasn't had any over that. We just are waiting to see how things go. He will eat for 5 days then do a fast. We are looking at the fast finishing on Sunday then seeing what he will need from the fast results. It is so nice and comforting to know he is in such good hands. The Drs and nurses are so knowledgeable with hyperinsulinism or "H.I." as they call it. He has been so happy since he got up here. It is almost like he knows the end is in sight. We hope this week goes by fast and that things continue to go well.
