Brant is doing great! Weighing in at 4 pounds 14 ounces and they weaned his high flow nasal cannula down to 1 Liter (he was at 2). He is doing really well on it- his oxygen saturation has been around 92 all day, which is great! If he keeps this up his nurse will switch him over to the regular nasal cannula!
We also tried bottle feeding for the first time at 11 today. He did better than she was expecting. It really tired him out and that is to be expected. She said it takes time and it's a lot of work for preemie babies. BUT its a start!!
Sooo tired
stretching!
I had lunch with another mom in the NICU today... WOW what a story. I feel so fortunate that Brant is doing so well. She said during her C-Section the resident messed something up so she felt the whole procedure and couldn't move her body for like a week without crying in pain. Her little girl was doing awesome and they were getting ready to go home in a week or so and the nurse accidentally turned her oxygen up to 100% and damaged all her lung tissue. She said they are basically starting over their whole journey... I couldn't imagine getting ready to come home and then have such a bad set back! She said it was going to be a LONG road until they get to come home now... so sad!
