....and Going, and Going, and Going....

Well folks, another late post. We are back at the house for the night resting and getting things washed. Now that Jack can wear clothes we need to wash a load every few nights along with his isolette blankets. Jack had another huge weight gain yesterday. The nurses told us that he is now up to 4 lbs 12 oz (maybe he hadn't pooed yet when they weighed him). We hope that it's his true weight and he'll gain some more today. We'll get him plumped up before he comes home. The doctor increased his feedings to 40 ml, and have decreased the oxygen flow on his vapotherm machine to 2 liters per minute. Hopefulle he keeps up the good work and doesn't have any problems or repeats of last Monday's incident.

Other than that, nothing much is new. Mary and I each hold him once a day and it's so great that he is getting big enough to interact with. It's also nice to see that his eyes seem to move around with purpose now and not just randomly moving around.
