Update 2 weeks old

Walker is 2 weeks old tomorrow. I can't believe it. It's been a wonderful 2 weeks with him, he is so sweet. I have been noticing that the other babies in the NICU are much crankier than him. I'm starting to think he really does have a sweet personality. He is now the senior NICU patient. All the other babies have come and gone. The nurses are so in love with him, they don't mind him staying a little longer.

Last night we had some good feedings finally. Today we had 2 that were good, so we decided to go for a third. He got 48/50 ml, so really good. We are thinking in another day or two we will be able to get the NG tube out, and if he can maintain weight gain without it, he will go home in a few days. We'll see how he does, but it's looking good. He's turned the corner anyway. He was stuck for awhile, so it's good to see progress.

At 2 weeks old he has passed his birth weight by a few ounces, so that is great. He is still a decent color, and not on the lights.
