I'm a growing boy!


Solomon gained another 10 grams today to reach 1080 or 2 lbs, 6.1 oz. He's growing a tiny bit behind schedule since they've cut out the additional calories from his milk (because his little bottom is raw) so the docs have asked me to eat a blander diet and they'll try adding calories back to his milk. The goal is for him to gain 15-30g a day.
The place was a zoo today. One baby was going home so the parents were all loud and excited while another baby was being admitted which meant that people were running around everywhere. Solomon took it all in stride for the most part. His oxygen level got down to 30% but with all the addiitonal noise, he had to be bumped up to 35%... still not bad considering we were as high as 60% not long ago.
Our goals for now are to keep gaining weight, keep up our progess on weening off the vent and get to 1500g so mommy can dress the little guy. :)
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Sami, Tracy and Solomon
