Day 84 - Samuel Update

Samuel is still off of the cpap! It has been a little over a week and a half since he's been off and he's doing great. The past 3 days his numbers have been great. You can probably count on one hand how many desats he has had in the past few days. He hasn't had any heart rate drops recently either. He is bottlefeeding/nursing 3 times within a 24 hour period. The rest of his feedings are still through the feeding tube through his nose. He has nursed 4 times total now and has done great with it. He falls asleep so fast each time he nurses but he is getting it down. He didn't need the oxygen help when I nursed him today. He did so great! He is now 6 lbs 9.3 oz. He is filling out as you can see in the pictures below. He changes so fast! He looks so different than he did a week ago. I am getting more comfortable with taking care of him. When I was there today with him, we really bonded. We had some good snuggle time, exercise time, tummy time, and nursing time. It was a good day.

Are you surprised at our little chunk Morgan?
