They are also going to add another med for Brayden's reflux. It should only be short-term because it's a med for his throat. Basically, they think his throat is raw and irritated from throwing up (which he's not really doing anymore) and that is why he doesn't want his bottle.
His hair looks red in this pic...it's not, it's actually a sandy blonde color.

I've just noticed that Daddy doesn't take enough pics of me with Brayden! We're going to have to work on that!I accomplished something amazing today...I changed his diaper without him screaming! I had some help...my mom was back in the NICU with me (only 2 people can be back at a time) and she did her best to distract him while I changed him and took his temp. He did so well!
Tomorrow is his 3 week birthday, and his first day without methadone! Oh, and his first full day sans PICC line! YAY! I hope we will have him home before he's a month old, but if it's not God's timing then I don't want it. HIS timing is perfect, and that is all we can ask for!
Please continue to pray for E and B. B is new to the NICU and is on ECMO. They need our prayers! Also, Chris and I have sinus infections, and we will be picking up our RX's tomorrow. Please remember us as well - we need to be well for Brayden!
Edited to add:
Chris had a pic on his phone of me with Brayden...hope it isn't too fuzzy!

He is so adorable! What a cutie!! So glad to hear that he's doing well and that the PICC line will be coming out! I will keep praying for you guys and also for the other babies in the NICU.

Brayden is SO cute!!! I'm glad he is doing so well!
I am never sick and I have had some kind of stopped up nose since we have been here - hospitals are germy and dry. UGH! :-)
You look so pretty - you can't even tell you ever had a baby. GRRRRR! :-)
Keeping you guys is our prayers.
What a sweet smile he has in the picture with you! Still praying that he will continue to get better so you can be home with him soon.
Don't think I've ever commented before (actually maybe once or twice), but I've been reading and thinking of you since Brayden was born (thanks to Kelly and Harper spreading word of you guys!). I am so happy your little guy is doing so well. What an adorable boy! (I meant Brayden, but your husband is a cutie, too! AHHH! I don't believe I just typed that! :)
Such a cutie! You'll have to keep on your hubby about taking pictures of you with Brayden. Most men don't even think about it! I always have to ask mine to take pictures of me with the kids.
I am praying he surpasses all expectations! He is a doll!
And, I am always on the other side of the camera too. :)
He is such a cutie! It must be a dad thing, they never think to get the camera I have so many pictures with dad!!
He's so darling!! What a precious little face! Sounds like things are going so well now, but prayers will continue for things to keep progressing toward getting him home. Blessings and good health to all of you!

P.S. Extra special prayers for the other babies as well...
I agree with Kelly that you look gorgeous, but she has nothing to worry about. Geez, you're both looking amazing considering what you have been through!
I'm so glad Brayden is continuing to make progress. Blessings to you, your husband & your precious son.
Brayden is so cute in those photos. You look great too! Glad things are going so well for him. God's timing is the perfect timing.

Happy 3 week Birthday Brayden! You are such a little cutie :) Glad to hear he's able to be without the methadone, and PICC line, next it will be the NG tube and then you'll be waving goodbye to all your nice nurses! Thinking of you & the other babes in your NICU~ Annette & William
