Quick Update

Not too much has changed these past few days, but I thought I would just let everyone know that. He has gained some weight though, 3lbs. 3oz and getting 30ml of milk now. Hard to believe hes started with 3ml's just a few weeks ago. They added a fortifier in the milk once again to give him more calories, but it is not the Prolactin fortifier because that made his phosphorus levels too high.

His electrolyte levels are better now than they were before and they will continue to monitor them to make sure his kidneys and functioning properly. 

His ventilator settings are still doing well for him and he's on low oxygen needed so if he is stable this week they will try the cpap again next week.

His head circumference is 26.75cm, growing, but at a normal rate, so that is good. And his next brain ultrasound is on Wednesday.

That's about it for now. Just trying to keep up with skin-to-skin as well, he's starting to last longer during these times of bonding and its really awesome. I wish I could hold him all day!
