Today was another good day. We both held Wyatt for an hour each. I even did skin to skin with him. (Yep I took my shirt off in the NICU) But they say its really good for him, very calming and helps him better regulate his temp and everything. You can see how good he looks in some of these pictures. We took some of Heidi's milk and swabbed the inside of his mouth. We even decided to try the pacifier dipped in milk and he actually started sucking on it.
They also moved his oxygen flow down. There were a couple of times where his little nasal tube wasnt even in his nose and his oxygen saturation was great. Which means he was breathing on his own and did great.
They are going to move up slightly on his feeds. He only weighs 1190 grams (2lbs 9oz). Tomorrow they are going to look at starting to re-feed him but they are going to look at his re-feeding tube to make sure it is still inserted in his small intestine. They will inject some contrast into the tube and do an X-ray and see if it is in his intestine.
Scott, Congratulations on your new baby boy! He really is super cute! I can see how strong Wyatt is and that he will get better soon. I love reading all your updates on your blog and you both are awesome parents already. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!
