A Day In Pictures...

Today was a wonderful day! It began with some quality Jackson and Mommy cuddle time while Jackson successfully weaned to the regular nasal cannula at 1 liter! ...



then Jackson took his first bottle! He didn't desat and only dropped his heart rate once (very minor). He successfully took 7 cc and the PT said that he can continue one bottle feeding a day! It's a major success!!


About 6pm, Ryan and I left the hospital to go see the Gwinnett Braves play (a minor league baseball team in Atlanta). We met up with some people from his work and had a good night. Sadly, the braves lost, but we had a great time! We even picked up some cute Braves clothes for Jackson to grow into!



Once we made it home, we found a suspicious amount of black fur on the carpet. It appears Jacob and Mario were playing a little too rough...




And then we ended the night with Ryan subjecting the cats to a little torture! (Jacob and Hannah wearing a Gwinnett Braves helmet).






Current Stats:
Weight: 4 pounds 8.2 ounces (he had lasix today so it's okay he lost a little)
Respiratory: Regular Low-Flow Nasal Cannula, 1 liter, Room Air (21 percent oxygen)
Feeds: Full Feeds, 12 cc every hour, continuous. 1 bottle. 7 cc. No episodes!

Goals:
1. Another great bottle feeding... take more liquid.
2. Keep on growing!
3. Wean to 1/2 liter on regular cannula.
4. No episodes!

With love,
Anna
