More big news today!!!

AM Check-In:
Daddy called in the morning and our pumpkin was off the CPAP and on the high flow cannula!!!!  PRAISES!!!!!  Mommy has been looking forward to this---I missed seeing his hair and his face!  He had gotten his shots last night and seemed to be doing well with that---no fever.  They were going to do another gas at 4pm and if that looked, they would only be checking them once a day.

Visit
Our little man was doing good when we got there...just sleeping peacefully.  Until we started talking to him :)  but it was time to have a diaper change and eat so it was ok.  Our nurse let us lift up the lid to his bed, turn him over, and change his diaper!  He was a little fussy (he sounds like a little goat when he cries!) but I am sure that is because he wanted to eat.  JoAnn told me to get a chair and she let me hold him while he ate!  We worked on him sucking on the pacifier during lunch time.  He does a really good job at sucking on the pacifier and seems to like it so we are hoping he is able to learn how to suck, swallow, and breathe in the right order when it comes time to bottle feeding.

PM Check-In:
***OUR BABY GRADUATED TO ROOM 3***  I am so excited!!!!  ***HE HAS ALSO BEEN MOVED TO A BIG BOY BED!!!!***  So many wonderful things going on today!!!  He is getting 26 CCs of 27 calorie formula now and they are going to be adding some rice cereal to it to thicken it up and they are going to put it on a pump so it will lengthen the amount of time it takes to get in him.  He had a couple of de-SATs and bradys during feeding time.  He weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces tonight!!!

PRAISES today!  Your prayers are working---thank you for all you do for our family!
