Nov 7...

Today is a pretty good day for the little man. He has a new conventional vent now, they didn't think he needed the high frequency anymore and so far he is loving it and is only on 30% oxygen. Mommy changed her first poopy diaper last night, that was good especially since he has gone on his own now without any glycerine! They were able to up his feedings to 11 cc's every 3 hours with fortifier!!! So his weight is up to 3 pounds and 6 ounces today, at least that is what the scale is showing. The scales are a little off today they are thinking and not just with Dylan so they are just closely monitoring his weight. He does have some edema still probably 100-150 grams or so but accoridng to his fluid intake and output the 3 pounds and 6 ounces may or may not add up. We do know he is sure growing so if the weight is off a little bit we still do know just by looking at him that he is definetly getting bigger. The doctors are impressed and it is very good that he is tolerating his feedings!!! He was very smiley for his mommy and daddy, he was alert and always peeks to make sure we are still there when we are quiet! He is very eager to come home soon and mommy and daddy just can't wait for that day to come! There is definetly several people including his big brother encouraging him and helping him get stronger every day~
