33 weeks
He gained 15 grams and his weight is 3lb 6.6oz. His billirubin (jaundice) is better so he only has one light on. They are going to try rotating him from c-pap to cannula. He'll wear the c-pap for 3 hours and the cannula for one. He's doing well with this so far. The cardiologist's report on his chest x-ray came back. Everything looks normal. He had a tiny hole in his heart at birth that all babies have at that age. It's now closed up. Good news! I saw his neonatologist today. She said that he's doing really well. She might try to feed him some of Mommy's milk tomorrow. The fluids from his tummy are clear which is agood sign.
This evening was difficult. Lenwood cried lot and seemed very uncomfortable. It's so difficult to watch and not be able to do much. We can lay our hands on him, , but we can't pick him up or hold him.
