Just a little update

There is not too much to report, but I know there are a few Grandmas out there who might like an update. Jack continues to do very well, although his weight gain is at a standstill for the moment. He actually lost a little over an ounce yesterday and is back down to 2lbs 4oz. It is a balancing act between getting him to gain weight while managing his breathing and reflux. Because he is off the CPAP now, he is working harder to breathe and burning more calories (which is progress in the breathing department). They have increased his feeds to 22 mLs to compensate, but he's been giving a little more back (reflux). So, we will just be patient and have confidence that they will find this balance and he will start beefing up again. He has had his eyes open more and been more alert the past few days. To amuse himself and pass the time, he blows spit bubbles and occasionally pulls out his oxygen and feeding tubes. Here's a few more pictures. Thanks for the striped outfit, Aunt Laura!

Thanks to all his visitors, Jack will be modeling his new wardrobe in the pictures to come. The sock hat is getting a little stretched out and we have some now that will fit much better!

Love, Donna, Soren & Jack
