Zach update 11-28-2008 (Turkey Day)

Well we went early today to go see Zach so we could get back and finish up items for dinner. He looked good today he was pushing up on his legs and arms and nearly could pick up his neck. He was really trying at least. The nurses said that was a good sign that he was trying to get up like he is. As he gets more weight on him his muscles won't be able to support his weight like most full-term babies who cannot do much with their bodies. For now though he's got the strength to push off.

He's pretty adamant about how he wants to lay as well and if the nurses move him a certain way he doesn't like he does all he can to move into a different position.

His oxygen has gone up and down but hovers around 30% he was down to 20 for the past few weeks but probably due to his extubation ordeal it'll take him a few more days to get back to where he was. They also went up on the breaths they give him, they'd been trying to go down on the respirator settings to see if he's ready for CPAP. So that's been delayed a bit but nothing out of the ordinary.

So all in all he looks good today :)
