Today little man has been in and out of air, and the doctors have been trying to put the back up pressures down, Jensen doesn't always like this for very long, but he is trying. He has been doing more breaths when he's asleep, which is a good sign his lungs are getting stronger and he's getting the hang of the whole breathing thing.
His milk has been increased to 3.5ml today, which he is enjoying. He appears to start wriggling 10 mins before feeding time, so we think he knows when it's time for a feed. He has been enjoying sucking some milk off a cotton tip while being tube fed too the little cutie.
He had another platelet transfusion yesterday, and his infection level is lowering. Doing lots of big wees and still weighed in at 1017 grams. The little man has also started to grow some cartilage in his wee little ears..
I bumped into yet another parent that I know from school today. A teacher from my internship school. Full-term baby but struggled getting out, so just here for a few hours under the light for jaundice. He was surprised to see me as he didn't even know I was pregnant. I said I had planned on letting them know but never quite got round to it in time.
We are hoping with all our might that Jensen will be ready at some point this week to make the transition to CPAP.
