Today was Father's Day and Jason got to celebrate his first as an actual dad! We got to the hospital in the morning and Jason got to Kangaroo for a few hours. Unfortunately Jason had to cut "roo time" a little short because Landon was getting a little grumpy towards the end. His oxygen levels were up higher than normal and he was stats were dropping. The doctors decided to order a chest x-ray to see if he needed a larger breathing tube or not. They decided to just adjust Landon's ventilation settings instead of replacing his breathing tube. We were happy with that, but were hoping that he wouldn't need either of those options. The nurses and doctors have reassured us that vent changes happen all the time but we worry regardless. We are just hoping this isn't a backslide for our little guy and that his lungs continue to get stronger and stronger. Here are some pictures of Jason and Landon today:
So... this may not fit for a little while still
This was waiting for Jason when we got to the hospital this morning. That tiny little hand print is Landon's. so cute!!!
They measured and weighed Landon tonight. He stayed at 880 grams, we were REALLY hoping he would get to 2lbs for Father's Day but it just didn't happen. We did learn his measurements today and he is now 14" long, almost a full 2" longer than when he was born! So he is actually getting bigger, it is not just us getting used to his size. We are really proud of our little guy, just hoping he continues to get bigger and stronger.
Much Love,
Jason and Kristin
