Making Up Some Weight

Back again for another late post....sorry. We've had some company today and then I've just been resting at home. Well, after Jack's break from gaining weight yesterday, he gained a few ounces today. He is at 3 lbs 13oz (well again 12.something ounces, but I round up), I had to look twice at the computer monitor to be sure I had read the correct field. The doctor also lowered his liters per minute on the vapotherm machine to 2 lpm, down from 3 lpm. So, he is slowly but surely getting weened off of the machines, then to straight high flow oxygen, then room air. He still has the occasional bradycardia and apnea, but they seem to be getting fewer and further apart (we are very thankful for this).

It was Mary's turn to do some kangaroo care today, Ekota got to sit in with her for about an hour while it was going on. We also got a visit from our friends from Lakeport, Danielle, Ryan and Ryken Villanueva. They all hung out with us at the trailer, then Danielle went in to say hi to Jack. It was another positive day out at Kaiser. Jack is looking so much better and getting so much bigger, he just needs to keep all this up.
