Dear Samuel,
What a great way to start a weekend!
Today, you are officially apart of the 4 pound club! Which still feels nuts to me....Think about how much 4 pounds is, really. Considering where we began though....4 pounds is humongous. Talk about a proud papa moment if there was one!

It was also a big day for me, personally, because today was the first day I was able to feed you by bottle. You were a champ buddy....You took 28 ccs of milk by bottle and the last 5 through your feeding tube. This is becoming a more common occurrence, as you have been taking "Full" feedings by mouth over the past couple of days.
Otherwise, not a whole lot of change. You still need to become less reliant on your Oxygen but that will come with time. Most of the time, I don't think you need it OR that it's really helpful to you. I really think you do all of the heavy lifting and the O2 is just a placebo.
I caught a video of you being wide awake today....something else you have been doing more of :)
4 pounds.
Hard to believe.
Still so small, but when you put it in perspective, so huge.
Your Mom and I couldn't be more proud buddy. Keep on fighting.
Love,
Mom and Dad
