I'm having a great day. I am getting better and better at drinking my bottle, and I had a bath.

I'm eating well. I still need to work on my breathing before I go home. I get better every day, but have problems from time to time.

12 Weeks 4 Days

I had 2 bottles today. One at 11am and one at 11pm.
They pull the feeding tube out when I get a bottle so I can now get pictures without tape on my chin.

4 lbs 9 oz

I drank a full bottle today. I'll get another bottle tomorrow, then start with 2 a day, then 3 and so on until I am off the feeding tube.
The eye doctor came for a visit and said my eyes are doing good.
Mommy gave me a bath today. I needed the bath and enjoyed most of it.

I drank from a bottle for the first time today. I only had half of the bottle before I got tired. It is hard work breathing and eating. I will practice more tomorrow.

I didn't like the feedint tube at the top of my mouth, so it is back at the bottom.
Tuesday, July 10 2007

They had to tape my feeding tube to the top of my mouth because I keep pulling it out. I get a little grabby from time to time.
Other than that, I am doing great.

Today I moved to the stepdown unit


Thursday, July 5 2007

10 Weeks 6 Days

I'm going to leave the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and move to the stepdown unit any day now. I almost moved today, but there are more empty beds in the NICU than there are in the step down unit.



I'm in a "Big Boy" bed. My old bed is now empty.

10 Weeks 5 Days

Big day today. I  have a new bed. My old bed was heated so I didn't need to work extra hard to keep warm. I will now need to maintain my own body temperature. If I can keep my temperature up, I will get to keep my new "Big Boy" bed.

My Mommy got to hold me again today. I do well when I am getting held, so my parents get to hold me almost every visit.

Update: I am still in my "Big Boy" bed as of 1am on July 5. I'm keeping my temperature up. They even had to remove some blankets because I was a little warm.

Daddy got to hold me for the first time today. I'm doing well so he should be able to hold me almost every day.
