8.15.21

He has gained weight...he is back up to his birth weight (2lbs 8.2oz) which the nurse practitioner said for a preemie baby to be back up to his birth weight in 5 days is really good. They upped his feedings to 14ml every 3 hours and added a supplement to the breastmilk to give him a little extra calories, phosphorus and calcium. They checked his bilirubin this morning and because it is back down they removed the pillow/bed. He hates that thing because it is hard and too hot! This should help his fast breathing that preemies do due to size. He is still on the bubble CPAP and is doing really well on that (30% oxygen) so they haven't changed that. He is officially done with his antibiotics and they changed his IV to just a normal sugar water IV as he is doing so well with his other numbers.

Overall he is progressing pretty well and I am excited to hear what his care team has to say about his plan of care on Monday.

I can't thank the doctors, nurses and everyone that has been caring for us all during this time.

😇🙏🏻 Please keep the prayers coming 🙏🏻😇
