David is doing great today. At his 6am feeding he took 25 mL by bottle and has taken 20 mL and 22 mL by bottle at two other feedings today, which is about double what he had been taking. So, we know he’s heading in the right direction. He was also VERY squirmy today and wiggled his way out of his swaddle and halfway down his crib. His feet were almost touching the bottom of the crib when I picked him up to eat. In addition to that, I got a lesson from the occupational therapist today on how to give an infant massage. He seemed to really enjoy it while I was practicing. The only other news for the day is that the cardiologist came to do an echo to see if they could find a heart murmur. The nurse practitioner thought she might have heard one, so they ordered the echo to find out. We didn’t get the official report yet, but the cardiologist who performed the echo didn’t see anything unusual and when the doctor and nurse listened to his heart today, they didn’t hear anything. So, it sounds like nothing to worry about. Other than that, today has been pretty uneventful.
Here are a few pictures from today…mostly just sleeping.
