Eli had a great day today. He spent most of the day resting. At noon he got switched off the vent to the regular CPAP. He's doing really well being on it, though at times he needs a little bit of oxygen. He's still a little sick so we won't told it against him. At noon he also got some milk, 2 ccs every three hours. So far he has been digesting it well, no aspirate and he pooped!!!! Way to go lil man! If he continues like this, they will increase. He had the dreaded lumbar puncture at around two and did super super well with it. The neonatologist did the procedure right in the room and everything went well. He had his nurse that takes wonderful care of him with him the whole time, so that made me feel really good.
We should get results some time tomorow. Hung out with Gramma, Omie, and Grampa today. We got to go see Lisa's new baby, she is soo beautiful. Love seeing her and all her brothers and sisters wanting to get a turn to hold her. It's funny how big a normal sized newborn looks to me now! Caesar and Kerri brought us dinner. So awesome to see them and so nice of them to drive all the way up here to bring us a meal. It was sooo good. Eli is even more spunky today. Loud cry, doing karate kicks, trying to push his nurse away, and lots of squirming around. I love it, he has quite the personality already. If he continues to behave, we can get back to skin to skin tomorrow. I can't wait!! So I'm hanging out here for a little while longer, they have to do some blood work at ten, I like to stay so he can hold my hand...err pinky. Probably more for me than him seeing as he's such a tough guy. Then he's gonna spend the night with Gramma again. Thank you God for starting to heal this lil guy so quickly. Keep the prayers coming!
Thanks Omie for the pics
