No more nasal cannula, no more oxygen, no more IV lines, no more anything! He's had a bath, has gained 3 ounces (up to 5 lbs, 10 oz now!), is breastfeeding like a CHAMP, and is pooping and peeing (like a geyser), maintaining his own temperature, etc, etc. We couldn't be prouder parents.
He still has some stickies attached to his chest to monitor his heart rate, his oxygen absorption, and his respiratory rate, but none of these things are helping him- they are there only to monitor.
Everyone has been in to hold him now- Daddy (with a mask), Catherine and Mimi too!
He seems to look so much like Catherine, it's pretty amazing...what do you think?
Oh, he is ADORABLE!! How great to hear of his amazing progress already! Ya'll must be so excited! Can't wait til he gets to go home!!
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful! I just got caought up on everything and found your blog. Will check in more often.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you and can't wait to get updates. I hope he gets to come home soon. Sounds like it.
Myles was in NICU for 48 hours. But I stayed in the hospital 1 extra day and got to take him home. I can't imagine having to leave without him.
I will be praying it is soon!
