Day 70

Day 70

Jackson Day 70: 2061 grams or 4 lbs 8 oz. He's doubled his birth weight. Jackson still didn't feel like eating last night so they just fed him through his NG tube all night and didn't make him try the bottle. They thought he was having a tougher time breathing so they gave him another albuterol treatment. They also thought it might have been reflux so they sat him up in a swing to sleep (I can't believe they didn't take a picture for me!). It seemed to work because he was very bright eyed and happy this morning and nursed great. But he's gotten more tired as the day has worn on and he has still not been very interested in the bottle. He ate 25 cc the first bottle and 10 cc the second. Dr. Berger didn't feel he was ready for the at home oxygen test, he needs the flow support still, so they've switched him back to 30% oxygen and .5 liter flow. He had his last 2 month vaccine shot today. Hopefully he'll rest easy tonight and be ready to attack the bottle again tomorrow! FOJSP!
