His platelet count at 11:00 last night had come back up to 180,000 -- so they are looking forward to him being discharged from the NICU and into her room sometime today. She is still very sore -- mostly on her left side -- said she has heavy bruising but her doctor said that is because Ollie had gotten "wedged" and they had to do a lot of pushing to get him out. She told Katie that if she had continued with trying to deliver him naturally that he would have broken his clavicle during birth. So, all is well. . .right now.

Yes, @marymanning, it does appear that all went according to what was best for both Katie and Ollie. He must be a real fighter to have come through such a tough birth! I'm so glad that he and his mom will be together in the same room soon so they can bond and get to know each other.
