Caffeine Free

James turns 5 months old on the 9th. What a milestone :D We cannot be happier to have this bundle of joy home :) 


We took James to a dr. visit at OSF Easter Seal. We were excited to see how much weight James has gained since a month ago. The nurse weigh James and the magic number is 7 lbs 14 oz! How exciting! We then hear some good news from the dr. James is no longer needing his caffeine and his potassium. We didn't think the day would come. Feeding prep is going to take shorter time since we don't have to measure the potassium dose every 3 hour. Goodbye 0.87 ml potassium. Goodbye 1 ml caffeine. The plan right now is to continue the Diuril for 5 days and then goodbye Diuril :) Starting next week we will slowly wean the oxygen down. It won't happen overnight, but we are moving to the right direction and we are beyond ecstatic!

Will post some pictures tomorrow. It's nap time.
