June 20th, 2006. HAPPY THREE WEEKS BEAU!!! Here he is smiling for the camera!

He is doing GREAT since his surgery! He took a few days to calm down, but now... wow is all I can say. He's now 960 grams and taking trophic feeds. They are going to up his feeds to double today. It's the first time he's been able to do that. I'm so proud of him.

He's also had to go up a size on his breathing tube since he's growing so big. I'm really happy about. He kept pulling out his tube and making noise around it. Not fun.

I should be able to resume Kangarooing him sometime this week or next. I can't wait, he responds so well to it. I love seeing him so calm and in such a deep sleep.

I pray to God he'll keep doing so well.
