Well, another day at the hospital and no major changes. Jack continues to snooze the day away. He is continuing to make progress though. He took 40 ml of his 55 ml from a bottle this morning before falling asleep. This is the best that he has done so far. However, he was so tuckered out from his 9 AM feed that he took 6 ml at 12 noon. So.....we continue to pray that every 3 hours he gains strength and endurance to eat on his own.
During rounds today we did learn that the Dr.'s and his dietician are not satisfied with his weight gain. In order for him to gain more weight they are going to fortify his formula and the breast milk. Instead of the 22 calories per serving they are going to give him 24 calories per serving. At this time he weighs 2785 grams, which is roughly 6 lbs. So, hopefully this will help him gain weight.
Other than that...nothing new. He is still cute as ever and we are still ready for him to come home......more than ever.
Thanks for your continued support and prayers for Jack.....they are working.
