Day 12 in the NICU
All of the changes he went through yesterday, like taking out his feeding tube again and being moved out of the incubator, took a toll on the little guy. The nurses had trouble getting him to eat his whole meal from a bottle last night so they ended up putting the feeding tube back in. He took most of the bottle for us, but the last bit was given via the feeding tube. We probably won’t tire him out by testing the car seat tonight either. Even small changes are a lot of work for him and he’s being pushed very hard for his age.
He’s still doing amazing and his doctor gave him a 100% approval rating again today and increased his feedings another few CCs.
We miss him when we aren’t at the hospital, but we need our rest too.
8 pm
He gained weight again and is now up to 4 lbs 3 oz.
