Day 69
3 pounds 3 ounces
Ryan had a good day yesterday. He did have some oxygen troubles throughout the day, but it was because his nasal canula kept coming out of his nose. He had one pretty major de-satting episode because the canula came out, but the RT wasn't certain that the readings on the monitor were correct. It said his oxygen was in the 40s but he was still moving around and acting pretty normal. The RT replaced the "dots" on his face that hold his oxygen tubing in place. It seemed to help.
The doctor said that he was thinking we would be able to start introducing a bottle by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. We are really looking forward to that. For now they are feeding him 26 ml every 3 hours through his NG tube.
We gave Ryan a bath last night. The nurses have started allowing us to clothe him, wrap him up and hold him for about a half hour after his bath. It's great!
