Micaiah NICU Day 11 (12.2)

Weight: 2920g~6 lbs 7 oz (he gained 3 ounces yesterday! Now he's back up to his birthweight.)

Breathing: he is still off of oxygen! He had a couple of quick desats, but he came back up all on his own.

Feedings: he nursed once & a "half" times (details below) & took all of his bottles well.

He had his car seat test-he had to sit strapped in his car seat, for an hour & a half without any breathing problems. Nurse Libby gave him one "pull over" for his paci because he was not a happy camper. In the last five minutes, he had a little desat, but his head was not straight. The respiratory therapist was standing there & she readjusted him. We agreed that in real life, we wouldn't let him sit with his head like that anyway!

He had his hospital pictures made.

He had his Hepatitis B vaccine.

After those three events (all right in a row), he didn't want to nurse. Imagine that. He just cried & slept. He nursed about half way & then got a bottle.

So..... Have you guessed the good news? Micaiah had such a big day full of activities because he's getting ready to go home!!! Now, he just has to behave himself until we get out of the door ..... & preferably after that too!
