So today was pretty relaxing. We had very few changes today which is perfect. I was at the hospital when they did rounds on Landon and got to listen in on everything. Basically they said that everything looks good. His heart still looks great, he is tolerating his new, larger feeds, and is still doing well on this ventilator. We did learn that he is the smallest baby in the entire NICU, but he also was the quietest last night. His alarms went off the least! (Gold Star for Landon)
Jason got to Kangaroo our little man again tonight which was wonderful. I am so happy to see them get to spend time together since Jason has been back at work and doesn't get to see him during the day.
Landon did not gain any weight tonight, but he didn't lose any either so we are OK with that. Oh, Landon's blood sugar looks really good now that we are done with the steroids so he no longer needs insulin. He is officially off all medicine except caffeine and TPN (kind of like gatorade.) We are hoping to up the calories in his feedings of breast milk and eventually increase the amount he is getting. He is able to get quite a bit currently, 2cc's every hour continuously throughout the day.
Anyways, thanks again for the prayers. God is listening and it is very apparent. In the words of his doctor, "He is doing awesome."
Much Love,
Jason and Kristin
