They removed Andrew's oxygen today at noon. He was doing much better today when I was holding him. He is eating 13 ml per feed and now weighs 1.4 kg. It sounds like soon they will start turning down his IV.

Got to kangaroo with Andrew today. Little silly decided to really let his oxygen drop. It's like he knew I had to leave. Once he got back in bed, 93. Silly dude. Even the nurse laughed.

Andrew is doing well. He's up to 20 ml per feed. Tomorrow they will try him without the IV nutrients, just breastmilk and some vitamin and calcium supplements. He currently weighs 1.45 kg.

Today, Andrew weighs 1.47 kg or 3 lb 2 oz. They have him on a drug to keep him from too deep of a sleep so he will remember to breathe. He did much better with stimuli while I was holding him today as well, so it must be working. He may or may not be off of IV nutrients. Matt isn't positive. It sounds like they may remove his IV tomorrow. Guess we'll just have to wait until then to see. smile emoticon

Andrew is doing great. His IV is out. They dressed him in a onesie. He weighs 1.55 kg today. I also learned that his feeding schedule is pretty much identical to my pumping schedule. smile emoticon He is eating 27 ml today and will probably be up to 30 ml tomorrow. Doris, one of the nurses who speaks some English, said in probably 4 or 5 days, they will start him on a bottle. Once he is doing well with that, we will also do breastfeeding. He did very well keeping his oxygen up today again. I don't know if they still have him on the drug to keep him sort of awake so he remembers to breathe or not. I forgot to ask smile emoticon

Henlie isn't the only one who can cover her eyes...

Andrew doesn't like laying on my chest. He'll do okay for a bit, and then his oxygen dips more than any other time I've seen it drop. Or maybe he likes laying on my chest too much and relaxes to the point of forgetting to breathe. Who knows?

Andrew weighs 1.65 kg (3 lb 10 oz) today. He is eating 32 ml per feed, but only 23 ml by his tube. The other 9 ml he is learning to eat by mouth. I also got to change his first diaper today. It was poopy....and then he kept going lol. He had to get a new sock and I had to get a new coat after he was done.
End week 3!
