July 22nd, 2006. It's 3 am and we've just gotten back from the NICU. Nothing's wrong, we just enjoyed being there with Beau and chatting with Jess. It's so good to have another NICU parent to talk to and bounce ideas off of.
Beau is doing well on CPAP. They've further weened his pressure to 7 from 8. They also reduced his sodium and increased his feeds. Now he's at 25 mill per feed every 3 hours rather than the 20 he was on. So far so good with that. He's finally begun gaining weight again. He shed about 100 grams of water weight over the last 3 days. Today he gained 50 grams. His nurses don't think it's water weight, but true weight from increasing his feeds and calories. Now he's 3 lbs 2 ounces. I'm very proud of him. Now all we have to do is keep praying that he gets a little better everyday.
