Mini-Update

Hello all who follow, I thought I would post a quick update with some pictures.  We are waiting for some other "blog-worthy" stuff with Jude to get processed so I don't want to write a full blog just to turn around and write another one in a day or so.  For a quick update: Jude got his brace off today.  The plastic surgeon was pleased with his progress a few days ago and decided to leave it on until this morning for "good measure" to hit the two week mark (those weren't his words but that is the consensus among the nurses and NICU staff).  He also is now in a crib and out of the warming bed.  He is doing very well and getting stronger every day.  You can also see the progression of his adema (fluid retention).  The first 3 pictures are from Valentines Day and the last 2 are from today.
