Brody gained more weight, so he is now 2 pounds, 7.5 ounces. We are really starting to notice when we hold him that he is "filling out". He is now eating 17 mL every three hours, fortified to 28 calories. Today, they started adding fat and protein. His lungs appear about the same on the x-rays, but his oxygen needs are a little lower. He is getting the enhaler treatment every six hours and the doctor said it is really helping him to take deeper breaths and clear out the "gunk" from his lungs. He is having very restful days. We are now holding twice a day for about an hour and a half; me in the morning and Russ in the evening. He really likes it. When we put him back in bed he looks around, as if asking "where'd you go?"
It sounds like you are all having a much better time!!! do you think that I could visit this Thursday (maybe after lunch?) I can't wait to meet Mr Brody!
