The nurse practioner came by before we arried this morning to check on RJ and make a plan. RJ's nurse for the day stated there really isn't any changes. He's staying on the feeds at 6.5ml/hr, no changes to his NIPPV, they added iron, and just needs to feed and grow. His weight last night was 2 lb 6 oz. He lost a lil, but it's bc he lost some water weight. Now that he's off fluids, he should equal out to his true weight and his lungs should hopefully start looking better on xray as well. He needs time for the inflammation in his lungs to go down from his pneumonia. Right now daddy is holding RJ. They look adorable all snuggled together. At one point RJ was holding onto daddy's finger. It was truly precious.
There was an interruption to my writing because Trina, one of our special nurse practioners, came by to personally give us an update. We are just plugging along nicely today, enjoying our time with our lil monkey. There will be pics to follow later.
