Hi all I just got off the phone with his nurse. He's had a good day so far they've started caffeine to get him ready for slow changes with the ultimate goal of going to cpap and taking out the respirator tube.
They've stopped antibiotics as they could not find an infection in his lungs or body. They thought he had pneumonia but he doesn't woot. They'll be taking the IV out of his arm when he wakes up and said we can do kangaroo care today if we wished. That'd be the first time we'd held him yet. I've gone with the hopes of being able to do so but every time he's either under the Jaundice lights or has a new IV or isn't doing well enough for it. Today would be the first time everything was going well enough to allow it.
They've added a bean bag arm/hand and he seems to like that they say he's sleeping much better with it. Thought that was cute and very nice of the nurses to request for him.
His weight is 2 lbs 4 ounces so he's gaining well. Overall this is probably the longest stretch so far of "good days" he's had. Hopefully this will keep up. They've stayed with the same 18 ccs(ml) x every 3 hours for feeds so that didn't go up.
So he's doing well at the moment we'll probably have new photos up on the flickr slideshow tonight or tomorrow so keep checking back.
