Jack had a nice day today. He reached the 5 pound mark today, that is the first hurdle towards coming home. He has been doing well since they switched him over to his new oxygen set up. He's now set at 1 liter per minute and he's been holding his levels pretty steady. Last night he got to have part of a feeding from a bottle. The nurse said that he did very well. He had a little trouble burping but he made it just fine. The doctor has said he want the therapist to check him out before he gets the OK to start full time on the bottle, so we will wait until the beginning of the week to see what happens. The heat has been turned off completely on his isolette and he is maintaining his body temperature nicely. With that step done he will probably be moved over to a regular crib (another step towards going home).
Jack had another nice day, we want them to stay this way. Hopefully he can get bigger and strong enough to make it home with in the next 2-3 weeks.
Yay! He will be out of his preemie PJ's in no time.
