Oxygen free! Christopher came off his oxygen yesterday morning and has been doing well since then. He's only had one apnic/brady spell in the last week! PTL!!
Daddy fed Christopher for the first time last night. Our little man drank 26 of his 30mL feeding - way to go, Christopher! He's now allowed to be breast/bottle fed 3 times a day.
He's doing pretty well at breastfeeding. Mommy and Christopher both need some practice, but he's doing a good job latching on and sucking. He just gets worn out after a few minutes. We think he's pretty smart already. He'll be wide awake when we start his feeding, but as soon as he's done or tired out, he closes his eyes and opens his mouth as wide as he can. Once the bottle is put away, he'll wake right up again and stay alert for another 20 minutes or so. Knows how to get his way already!
Stretching out to show his size - Christopher has now gained over 1 lb!!!! He is 3 lb. 9 oz. Funny how that seems big to us now.
Thanks for your continued prayers and support. We love you all!
