Well Zach looked well today. They've decreased his vent settings to the lowest they make them before they move them off the ventilator and to cpap. They anticipate that if his blood gas labwork comes back well several times in a row they'll move him off in the next few days. That's a good sign as he hates that tube and is constantly trying to get rid of it.
I guess they'll keep him on the tube feedings but that tube is much smaller and less invasive. I don't think his sucking ability is matured yet he's still too little only 31 weeks gestation. Perhaps in a few weeks they'll try him eating from bottles but I have a feeling it's going to be a while.
His weight seems pretty stable at 2 lbs 9 oz his official weekly weight will be taken tomorrow. I'll ask for his lenght too he's growing pretty well and went up a diaper size.
So overall he's doing pretty well hopefully this stays this way.
