So far, so good

It was a busy Monday morning, as Krista left early for work, and I got Claire fed, clothed, and out the door by 7:45. Today was Claires first full day with Miss Connie, and she seemed pretty excited. Connie has a pool, so Claire got to take her swimsuit and floaties.

I was actually early for the 9 AM feeding...not too bad for a Monday. Kelson is now one of the more stable babies in the NICU. He still shares a nurse with another patient, but often times has a "borrowed" nurse from the pediatric unit. He still gets great care, but we miss having some of the more familiar NICU nurses. Kelsons day just revolves around eating. The doctors are wanting him to try a bottle at all 8 feedings. This morning he ate 56/60 mL for me, and took 35 for Krista at 3. They have also increased his feedings to 65 mL, just over two ounces.

We received even more good news today. Kelson had a chest x-ray, and so far there has been no fluid re-accumulation! He has been off his medication for 5 days, and is doing great. They will keep a close eye on things for another week and a half, but so far, so good!
