Nicholas remains status quo. He is still on 2 Liters of oxygen at 29% FiO2. He is now getting 38 cc every 3 hours and is taking a bottle 3 times a day. He's starting to root for food now, which is good. He has also discovered is fingers and sucked his thumb yesterday for a decent amount of time. All good developmental milestones. He got his first immunization today and will get two more in the next two days. They space them out versus giving all of them at once like they would have to at the clinic. He was a brave little boy. He cried for just a second and then went back to sucking his pacifier. He is now 4lbs 11 ounces. I talked to the physician about changing his food from 23 cal to breast milk with Neosure fortifier. She wasn't too keen on the idea just yet, as he had only gained 15 grams two days ago and 51 grams yesterday. I asked her what the average was in the last week and she didn't know. Oh well, we'll try again tomorrow. They were going to do this at Rainbow, thus, my reason for asking here.
The pictures I attached today were taken at Rainbow but are representative of what Nicholas thinks of his oxygen here too. He looked around to see who was watching, pulled it off and wasn't too happy when I put it back on. We'll capture some more pictures here in the next few days to share.
We finally ordered a crib last weekend and expect that to be delivered in the next 5 weeks. We went for the place that delivers and sets up the crib for free. Our car seat is on it's way as well as the stroller. So, we are getting ready for Nicholas to come home. We're certainly ready for that day but will wait until Nicholas let's us know he's ready; no need to rush after all this time.
