The doctors think he'll be ready to go home when I leave tomorrow.
Keeping our fingers crossed!

Update

Here are a few new pix.
Benjamin is still in the NICU...trying to get the fluid out of his lungs and the swelling on his head to go down...I guess they suctioned him to get him out and gave him a few tender spots that are giving him headaches...SHOULD be able to leave the hospital in the next couple of days.

He's Here!
