Brant is doing awesome! He is off the high flow nasal cannula and on the regular nasal cannula. He is doing great on it- around 23-26% oxygen and sating great! He weighed 5 pounds 1 ounce! They stopped his caffeine, iron, one other supplement (don't remember what it was) and changed his multi-vitamin to one that better suits his age/size. Starting yesterday at 11 a.m. we started bottle feeding him. Yesterday he ate from the bottle every other feeding because its a lot of work for him and it tired him out so bad. BUT today he ate from the bottle at every feeding! Granted he doesn't take his full amount of milk from the bottle- he doesn't have the stamina for that yet but it's better than yesterday! SUCH great progress is so little time. If the night nurse doesn't give him a bath tonight we will do it tomorrow.
Darren and Nicki came and visited for the day. I have a check-up appointment with Dr. Easterling in the clinic here tomorrow and I will head home tomorrow night. Just a quick trip home, I'll head back Saturday morning. I have a few things to take care of at home and it's dad's 50th birthday on Friday. Instead of going out dad wanted to have a family dinner at home so we are making all his favorites! Steak, stuffed mushrooms, baked potatoes, green bean casserole, and caesar salad.
