Day 58

Another good week for Nate! He is tolerating his feeds well and is almost back up to where he was. He's gaining weight like a champ too. He was 2 lbs 13 oz this morning! He's almost to 3!!! We can't believe how much he is changing. He's getting so chubby and much more alert when we wake him up for cares. The nurses think he is just the cutest thing when he's awake showing off his fun personality.

His breathing has improved a lot this past week too. He is now only having spells when we are doing his cares and when he is acting naughty. Yesterday he had 3 minor spells that weren't associated with cares...during the first one I looked in and saw that he had completely pulled with cannula out of his nose, the second one he had it in his mouth and was sucking on it, and the third he was on his tummy and had turned his head so he was face down in his blanket. Silly boy!

Here are some new pictures of Nate. He has really filled out a lot this week. He grows a new chin everyday :)

Here he is with his new feeding tube. He LOVES having his mouth free!

His binki is his new best friend. He has his mouth open waiting for someone to put it in pretty much anytime he is awake. When it's in, he guards it :)
