Henry 2.0

A new milestone tonight, Henry now weighs twice his birth weight! He was born at 570 grams and is now up to 1150 grams as of tonight. He gained 20 grams despite this being a lasix day. I'm not sure if the lasix is losing its effectiveness or if he is truly gaining that much weight. He looks like he is gaining more than just water weight. Hopefully he can keep it up.

This afternoon Lisa was his nurse. She was a bit concerned about the amount of air she was pulling out of his stomach. She thought he might have a hole in the tube or it might be placed incorrectly so she pulled it out. She had Henry the nurse put it back in because she couldn't get it down after a couple tries and didn't want to cause trauma to his nose. She knew that Henry the nurse had been successful getting the nose tube down when our son had pulled it out over the weekend.

This evening Emily had to replace the feeding tube again because Henry pulled it out. He does quite well at pulling those tubes out. She was not seeing the large amounts of air in the stomach that Lisa was, so maybe the tube replacement did help. She also said that he is still digesting well with very little remaining in his stomach.

Kate held him for a couple hours this afternoon during which time he did well. He is up on his oxygen to 30% from 28%. He seems to be sat surfing a little more the last couple days than he was. At this point, it isn't really a concern. They are trying to wean him down on the amount of oxygen he is getting but it could take a while.

Not much to report. No news is good news.
