Brenden is getting stronger!!
Brenden has been making great progress the last few days. He has been taken off the CPAP and his arterial line was removed on Wednesday. This allowed me to hold him for the first time. It was amazing...as you all know already. I just wish my husband was with me for the first time...he was at work. I have been able to do skin-to-skin only 3 times. I was told that once they put clothes on him I would no longer be able to kangaroo with him. His isolette has been open and is going to a newborn crib tonight. The nurse told me that she tried to take the oxygen off him this afternoon but his breathing was getting labored. I told her that I did not want to push him to far. He has made some fantastic progress...I would hate for him to go backwards. There are some orders for bottle feeding but not sure when that is going to happen. I really want to try to nurse him or at least let him try and see what he does.
Thanks for letting me share our growth and milestones!

Thank you for all your support and encouragement. I am so glad that I found this board.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
congrats!! he is doing awesome!
why can't you kangaroo after they put clothes on him? i am just curious as we were encouraged to kangaroo as much as possible the entire time he was in the NICU.
