Day 25 - Samuel Update

Samuel is doing about the same as last time. The doctor said the next month is going to be a slow process of Samuel getting to room air. They've upped his feedings a few different times and now he is at 3.5 mls an hour. He is tolerating his feedings well. I've seen him everyday since I've been feeling better and it's been wonderful. He looked so much bigger and different when I saw him a few days ago for the first time in a week. He is 3 lbs 2oz as of lastnight. He looks great but every few hours or so he just kind of gets tired and has a cluster of desats and heart rate drops. He seems to do better on his tummy.

Here a few picures of my Tuesday night visit.

He was really still asleep in this picture but his eyes would pop open every once in a while.
They were changing the nose sticker so I snagged a quick picture of his face. He looks so good!
I just had to show this picture. Noel just loves brushing her teeth. Right after family prayer at night she runs down the hall saying "brush teeth, brush teeth". Morgan sets out the footstool and they brush their teeth together. (Cute and funny story: Yesterday just before my parents left out of town, we said a family prayer and this is at5:30pm or so. After the prayer, Noel ran down the hall saying, "Brush teeth! Brush teeth!" It was too cute. We had to tell her that it wasn't bedtime yet. She was a little confused.)
