We have had another good day for Landon. Dad (Jason) took off from work an hour early today so that he could get a chance to Kangaroo our little man. He loved it even though Landon held on to his nipple the entire time. :) They hung out for almost two hours today which was awesome.
Landon is hopefully making strides in the right direction. His PICC line (a central line, kind of like an IV) was taken out today after they gave him a round of antibiotics. Infections can be pretty detrimental to babies his size so they gave him antibiotics just to be safe.
This morning when I went in for cares we got to have bath time once again. We scrubbed him down and got our little man to smell much better. Also, big news... Landon got to put some clothes on! He is still a little small, even for the preemie onesies but they put him in this:
Jason's parents did get to swing by and see Jason doing Kangaroo time. His mom got to pick little Landon up for the first time today and help with his cares a little.
Landon gained 10 more grams tonight bringing his weight to 840 grams or 1 lb. 14 oz. He has been gaining weight slowly the past few days but we will take what we can get! We are just so proud of our little man for the accomplishments, however small they may be. Weight gain, poopie diapers, it is all great news for our little baby boy. We will continue to keep you posted as always on any and all updates and thank you again so much for your continued prayers and support.
Much Love,
Jason and Kristin
