Big Gain

Jack was up to 2lb 9oz yesterday! Another 3oz gain in one day. He has now gained a full pound since his lowest weight. It's amazing what a difference it makes. His little feet are chubby now!
He was having some belly issues yesterday and they had to hold one of his feedings, so he was actaully down a fraction of an ounce today. It was just air, and all is well now. It's one of those balancing processes. The high flow oxygen (which helps him not burn so many calories breathing) causes air in his belly, which makes for digestive problems, resulting in less calorie intake. But it has resolved itself and he is back to his normal feedings and still getting excellent reviews.
Thanks for the gifts, Melissa! I just draped the shirt over him for the picture, but with a little more weight gain, I'm sure it'll be one of his favorites!
We will hopefully know more about our transport potential tomorrow. Big day. We are prepared to stay, but hoping SO much we get to go home!

Love, Donna, Soren & Jack

Hi Jack
What a wonderful visit we had today
Uncle Erik was there and dad too. I saw you smile and frown while you slept. You opened your big brown eyes several times and yawned. I just love the way you stretch your arms way above your head. And those feet!!-- quite chubby for such a little guy-- they are as long as my little finger.
Tomorrow is an important day for you. The decision will be made for the start of your next adventure- your trip to Chicago. I will see you there soon. Your grandma and grandpa Glynn are waiting to see you. Wait till they see how youve grown!
Good night and dream a sweet dream for me
love and kisses
Grammie
