December Begins...

By this picture, it doesn't look as if much has changed with Wyatt since yesterday. He had a good night and a good day today. I got to hold him twice today. His CPAP was lowered to 5, then put up again to 6 because he required more oxygen. 5 is the lowest on the CPAP. So tomorrow, they'll turn him down to a 5 again and see what he does. His feeds are increasing, and he's half-way to where he's supposed to be for his weight. At his next feed at 11 pm, he'll be getting 23 cc's, and it goes up by 3 cc's every other feed. He should be taking in around 40 cc's per feed for his current weight. When that time comes, the IV will be removed. His blood cultures came back negative yesterday so his antibiotics have been discontinued!

He loves to sleep with his little hands in front of his face. You can tell in this picture that his left hand is curled up, nearly under his chin. A little boxer in the making.
