Weekend Report 06/05/2011
The past several days have been fairly uneventful for Timothy (which is good!). On Friday when we went to see him, Timothy was very active and had his eyes wide open most of the time. He kept trying to suck on his fingers but couldn't quite get the hang of it. They gave him a pacifier and he loved it! He's starting to develop the ability (and desire) to suck which means they should let us try to start bottle feeding him soon! Saturday we showed up to find all 3 babies in the same room! Timothy is still sharing an isolette with Elizabeth but now Mary is in the room with them, which we LOVE! Timothy was calmer Saturday, mostly sleeping while we were there. Since all 3 are in the same room, we were able to hold all three at once. It made me a little nervous (I think I was worried I might drop one!) but it was also really awesome! Today was pretty much the same as Saturday...Timothy was mostly sleeping while we were there. He is up to 29 mL of food every 3 hours. 30 mL is the same as an ounce, so he's just shy of getting an ounce of milk at each feeding. His weight, as of today, is 3 lbs 5.8 ounces. He's still dropping his oxygen saturation occassionally but always brings himself back up pretty quickly. They say this is normal and he should eventually grow out of it. CommentsLeave a Reply |
