Henry is still doing really well!!! They did have to put him back on the phototherapy cuz his bilirubin went up a little. They also placed a pic line (long term iv line) in his hand today and they removed his umbilical line. And he's still getting tube feedings and seems to be tolerating them well. DH changed his diaper today and I took his temp and lifted him up so his nurse could change his one blanket cuz he peed while DH was changing him. I'm hoping in a few days we can start kangaroo care!! I'm dying to hold him!!!
Another big day for Henry!! They moved him out of the incubator with humidity and into his new incubator this morning. And they stopped his phototherapy and antibiotics!! He's doing great with his feedings and currently up to 8 ml a feeding!!! He always seems so content and is passed out when he's getting his milk!! Then makes some silly faces that make him look drunk! Lol. No kangaroo care yet but that's ok I'm just happy that he's doing so well!!!! DH took a few pics I think while I was pumping, so I'll post those later! Thanks ladies!!
Keep the updates coming! What a cutie and so glad he's doing well.

Henry had another good day!!! No big changes except he finally pooped really well for the nurses and they've been gradually increasing his amount for feedings and he's digesting it really well! He's a hungry little guy!!! He gets another head ultrasound tomorrow and they'll recheck his bilirubin level as well so hopefully he can stay off the phototherapy!
Another milestone day for Henry!! We did our first kangaroo care and it was amazing! Best day EVER!! Also his recheck head ultrasound was clear so whatever they saw last week is gone! And he's up to 13.5 ml of breast milk each feeding!!! I'm seriously on a baby high from holding him!!!!!!
Henry is doing very well!! He had a bit of a rough morning on Tues, but he was doing much better by the afternoon! Yesterday they stopped his lipids and lowered his fluids. He is also up to 2 lbs 14 oz, his nurse thinks he'll be at 3 lbs very soon!!!! My DH also got to hold him yesterday and it was so unbelievably adorable!!!!
Today they have lowered his fluids and lowered his settings on the ventilator. His nurse practitioner is hoping to have him off the nasal cannula/ventilator in the next couple of days and on a simple nasal cannula!! She also said because he's doing so well with his feedings (he's up to 21 ml each feed), they may take out his pic line soon, maybe even today!!!!
