Benjamin had a more touchy day again yesterday, but he settled in pretty well overnight. He also had a good day today, they were able to regain some of the ground on the vent that was lost a few days back. He has been a bit more touchy again tonight while we have been here with him. He has been weighed and measured and the 'little' stinker is 11 pounds 11 ounces and 24.8 inches long!! So he is definitely growing. Today, they also turned his NG tube (the one going into his stomach) from suction to gravity...they are trying to see if he can tolerate this so we can then start feedings of breast milk. Right now, he is sleeping comfortably and we hope to keep him like this or better so they can continue to make progress.
On another note, we are VERY pleased to say that Ellis is supposed to be busting out of here soon...Monday is the plan. We will miss them terribly, but we are SOOOOO happy that he has recovered from everything this well. He is doing much better than expected.
We will try to post more asap.
