Status Quo

Not much new to report to the World today. Jack maintained 2 lbs 6 oz (1070 g) throughout the day. He got his first sponge bath early this morning. His nurse said he tolerated it fairly well, but we know he was probably a little fussy. His oxygen saturation has been pretty good with the SiPAP set at 21% oxygen, but that setting goes up from time to time to about 26% (we take it a little higher during his care time also). The doctors have increased his feeding to 15 ml, which he's digesting all of (no surprise us Passalaqua's know how to eat). They are taking him off of his IV nutrients and from now on will be on strictly Mary's milk.

We also learned that Jack loves his new found pacifier. The nurse put a couple drops of milk on his pacifier and in his mouth, and he went to town on that thing. I don't think he even noticed us changing his diaper! Mary also had a some down time and crocheted him a nice hat.
