Braden has been hanging out at 21% oxygen for a few days now which is great because that is essentially room air. The only step left before he is completely off oxygen support is to turn the flow off. Right now it is currently on a half a liter of flow every minute which is like having wind blow in his face. But the doctors are keeping an eye on this positive progress and will likely give him yet another chance in the next few days to come off oxygen support completely.
He had another eye exam which went well and they are so pleased the scary eye doctor is not coming back for 2 weeks!
Bottle feeds are going back and forth. He gets really tired at the 30 minute mark and that is as long as they will give him to complete the bottle. He has not completed a bottle in a few days, mostly due to his reflux and the fact he just gets tuckered out. Regardless he is putting on the pounds and weighs 5lbs 12 ounces!
That’s great news! Just imagine if I doubled my weight in 1 month!
ReplyDeleteGreat news. He's getting to be such a big boy. February is going to be a great month for Braden. We can't wait to meet him in person. We love him so much already! <3
