Kangaroo time with mommy!


We had a great day today. Jacob is making good progress. He's taking his feedings very well. It is up to 20 mL tonight and should be 22 mL by tomorrow. Because of the increased feeding, the doctor is leaving him on the hi flow. Once he shows consistency in feeding and breathing, they'll change him to the nasal canula.

This is a picture of our kangaroo time. I love holding him. It is such an amazing feeling. His heartbeat is not as rapid and his oxygen level is at the high 90's and even at 100. Somehow, he knows when he has to go back into his isolette b/c he tends to cry and stretch out his arms. Tomorrow, Jeremiah says it's his turn to kangaroo. We'll see about that! =)
