Davis is making steady and wonderful progress. His two days of 5 nipple feedings have been very successful with very few or no Brady or apnea episodes. He was moved to 6 feedings per day beginning this evening.
Speaking of this evening, Mom had, in her words, “an awesome visit!” She breast-fed Davis for his 8 o’clock night feeding, and he did incredible, pacing himself, breathing when he should, and he actually got a good bit of milk, though he did have to get some supplemented afterward. No drops in pulse or breathing at all!
If he keeps this up, he could be at 8 feedings by Monday, which would mean his coming home as early as next Wednesday, or next Friday latest. Keep those prayers coming for our little guy!
As of his weigh-in overnight, he was 6 pounds, 4 ounces. We’re going to get a height/length measurement on him tomorrow.
