Another Big Step!

Hi everyone, the most sought after blogger online is back! Steph is working late again so I will be entertaining you tonight.

Kale is doing well, he is still on 2 lt of vapotherm, but is much more comfortable. Today was a big day, we found out when Steph got to the hospital that Kale would try bottle feeding for the first time today. He got to try this at 2pm today, this is a crucial part of the process for him to come home for the reason he has to be able to feed and breath at the same time for them to let him come home.... sorry for the run on sentence. Well he performed well today with the bottle, Steph said he did stop breathing for a second a couple times but he did very well! Also, the little pig we call Kale took down 15 ml of that bottle in 10 min. The nurses said he probably could have take the whole thing and they were impressed with how well he ate and how much he ate! He will keep trying to bottle feeding once a day this week to see how well he does.

Also, he now has a rocker type thingy that he can sit in if he is fussy, kale really likes sitting up so they brought it in so he could. Also, we can now very slowly rock him for little stints of time!

Overall it was a great day at the hospital, the Dr. came in today again and expressed how thrilled she was with how Kale is doing and where his heart rate is. Same with the Cardiologist.

Thanks again for all the prayers and thoughts! Keep'em coming!

Until next time, from the now 5 times voted "hottest dad in the NICU", see ya later! (Steph will love this!) ha-ha!
