Doing well!

Naptime

So peaceful!
Kale loves his pacifier and his star baby!
Kale has been on a roll lately! He has been doing well on his vapotherm, and is still on 2 lpm. His blood gases have been pretty consistent and maybe in the next few days they will move him down to 1 lpm!
He has been doing great with his feeds as well, still at 40 mls and he is definitely gaining weight along with that. He is up to 4 lbs. 14 oz! He's going to hit the 5 lb. mark soon!!! Hard to believe how far he's come....we're so thankful!
He has been doing pretty good with nuzzling too, hopefully in the next few days we'll get the go ahead to start nursing.
Some other exciting news today - Derc changed his first poopy diaper all on his own, start to finish!!! I didn't believe him, so had to have Jodi confirm, and she said he did great!
We're off to watch my brother-in-law Justin race tomorrow, we're excited!
Have a great weekend, and as always, thanks for checking in on our little man, he's truckin' along!
