Sorry, no pictures from today. Maybe tomorrow. We were going to take some pictures yesterday but the battery died. boo.
Ryan and I went to see James last night. By the way he is in a new room. The old neighborhood is getting a cleaning treatment: floor waxing. This new room doesn't have windows.. so it gets dark pretty quick. I don't like it, but maybe he does. I practiced nursing him yesterday... the boy was kinda sleepy so he didn't do much. Other than that I had a good time doing kangaroo with him.
Just talked to the nurse. James is doing ok, for the most part. He had a bradycardia this morning... he was desaturating a couple of times during the day. Apparently he was down to 40 last night, which is a big no no. Due to this trend the doctor increased the caffeine dose by 1 mg for James. It starts tomorrow. Hopefully the new dose will remind James to take deep breaths here and there.
Since James weighs 1510 grams now, technically he can be in an open crib. However, he is barely passing the 1500 grams mark, the team is going to wait to put him in the open crib. They want to see if James will continue to gain weight or maybe lose a little. They want to make sure that he can keep his body temperature without burning so much calories before saying good-bye to the incubator. Also, because he has been having this desaturation they'd like him to work on his breathing first and not pushing the whole ordeal of open crib until he's ready. Either way I am good.
Well, I will post some pictures tomorrow... now I have a care package from my mama to pick up. Yippeeeee!!
