Nicholas is having another good day. He is still on 1 liter and at 30% oxygen. He started receiving bottles again but only 1 a day and only for 10 minutes. We spoke with the nurse practitioner and voiced our concerns about Nicholas being pushed too hard too soon because he was just weaned back down to 1 liter on Friday. She assured us that they will go slow and won't go above a specific amount before they try Nicholas on 2 bottles and that probably won't be until Wed. at the earliest. We just don't want Nicholas to regress due to being so tired from taking bottles but we also do know how important it is that he does still take them. Like the np said it is a very fine line.
Before Nicholas comes home they will perform a MRI to see if there is anything to be concerned about now or in the future. There has been nothing so far to indicate there is anything to worry about but this will show more than the ultrasounds can and will also give Mariah and I a clearer picture of what to expect in the future.
Nicholas currently weighs 6lbs13oz.
Mariah and I would also like to thank everyone who has helped us out through this very difficult time. We can not say thank you enough for being there for us. We are very blessed to have such good friends and family.
