Jacob's first bath!

Today was a good day. This morning, Jacob had his first bath. He was not happy at all. He threw his arms all over the place and kicked nonstop. Not to mention, he also cried. The best part of the bath was when Jacob was given to Jeremiah to hold and he tooted in his arms. After unwrapping the blanket, we found out that he pooped! It was funny.

Jacob's feeding has now increased to 8 mL. He is adjusting well to the increase as his bowel movements are now regular without the need of suppositories. He had a few apnea episodes today, but not as much as yesterday. Yesterday, the amount of apneas could be because they had moved him from hi-flow oxygen to low-flow oxygen. It's a great improvement, but his respiratory system was not quite strong yet to handle the low-flow so they changed him back to the hi-flow. Today, they also moved his feeding tube from his mouth to his nose. It was nice to see his mouth opened and free.

Jacob also had more visitors today. His aunts and uncles came to see him. They were so lucky because he was out of his isolette when they visited. I bet his aunts and uncles from yesterday would have loved to see him out and up close. We are so happy to have family and friends that are supportive and loving.

Overall, today was a very good day for us. Again, we are so amazed at how strong Jacob is. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They are definitely being answered.
