Almost to His Feeding Goal

The past couple days have been pretty normal and steady. His blood pressure was a little low this afternoon but the nurse said she was not worried because he had just been unwrapped for a little while and got a bath. An hour later we retook his blood pressure and it was back to normal. 


Caelin is enjoying Grandma and Uncle Tristan's visit! Uncle Tristan gained the confidence to hold Cael and Cael loved it! He did not fuss or squirm in his arms- he got comfortable and snuggled right up against him! 


He has been doing well on the Elecare formula. He is currently on 18 mL/hr and has been tolerating it much better than the 18 mLs last week on breast milk. He has had only 2 instances of emesis and is retching a lot less. Tomorrow they plan to bump him up to 20 mL/hr which is his goal- please pray that he will be able to tolerate it. If he does, they will put him back on breast milk. If he tolerates the volume then they will most likely pull the tube NG to see how he does with the food going to his stomach instead of past it into the duodenum.

He's pointing!

Pump, pump, pump it up!

Sleepy boy.

Caelin has been a very happy boy when he is sleeping and awake- he is such a great baby! He is so entertaining, we could just watch him all day. This morning he really started discovering his right hand. He likes looking at it and putting it in his mouth- he is even trying to suck on his thumb/a couple fingers when he does not have his binky. Adorable!
