Weight Gain

Another increase in weight gain today, so the doctor’s thought he should increase his feedings. He is now up to 41 cc. for each feeding. They are starting to push the bottle feeds, but he is still pretty sleepy. It takes a lot of energy for him to drink from the bottle. We’ve met some other parents in the NICU (and gotten to know them during our 3 minute scrubs) and tonight during the shift change we went to a meeting with some of them. It was nice to talk to other parents and exchange stories and tips on managing the NICU. One of the nurses attended and was able to answer questions as well. So it was another good day…only one episode of desats during the feeding. We are praying that he will grow out of this soon.
