On The Up And Up


Great News!!! Noah has put on 40 grams in the past two days since they began fortifier mixed in with his milk which means he is only 10 grams away from his initial birth weight.  What a champion!  They started the first day with only half fortifier so his little stomach could tolerate it and by the second day he was on full fortifier mixed in with his 10 mls every two hour feeds.

Noah had his second head ultrasound done and the results are in .... Completely normal ... no bleeds, no complications.  Our little boy just keeps powering on.

He is off CPAP for six hours twice a day.  The doctor considered keeping him on four hours but decided that he uses way too much energy trying to get the prongs out of his little nose when they are on so better out than in!  Noah in his two weeks and two days is already dictating to one and all what he wants! Go our little man!
