Dear Samuel,
Sorry for not posting last night....we didn't get home from the hospital until late.
Not much change though. You are still on the "high flow" oxygenated air.....the only change is that you have gone from 4 liters on Thursday down to 2 liters, today. Liters refers to the amount of air pushed through your house in 1 minute. So, the fact that you are down 2 liters in one day is pretty amazing.
The other piece of news was from last night. You have finally reached the 1,000 gram mark (1 kilogram)! You were actually 1010 grams. In pounds, this translates to 2 pounds 3.6 ounces! This was an increase of 30 grams from Thursday night. Your doctor wants to see you gaining anywhere from 20 to 30 grams per day; so when you hit 30, your mom and I were pretty excited.
Otherwise, not a lot to report. We got some skin to skin time this afternoon and have been getting plenty with mom over the past few weeks. Looking forward to your mom holding you tomorrow during the game...I'm thinking that will be the magic we need to swing the momentum to the Green and Gold.
Sleep tight little man.
Love,
Mom and Dad
