87 days and still going! Today was a fun day for me. This week I've been able to give Kanyon his 1pm feeding with his bottle. The first few days it was pretty crummy. I spent the first day trying to figure out how to hold him upright, hold the bottle, the rag under his chin, and my fingers under his chin to keep his mouth closed, and then really you need another hand to rub his head or feet to keep him awake. Needless to say, the first time he didn't even take half of the feeding before time was up. But, I take partial responsibility!!! I have gotten a little better each day and today we were both right on! He took the whole bottle!!!! YEAH!!!! His breathing is even pretty good during the feeding too. Still has to have help every now and then, but most of the time he regulates his breathing well. His full bottle got a jumping cheer from his nurse and a bunch of kisses from mommy!!! We hope this keeps up since we can't go home until he gets it down. I forgot to ask how much he weighed today, but yesterday he was 5lbs. 6.2 oz --Not too shabby for a mirco. And another occasion to be celebrated..he outgrew an outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His legs are too long!!! It was one of our tiny sleepers, but still, it's not everyday that he outgrows something!
We have another head scan tomorrow. Please keep asking for healing. We are praying and begging for the healing of his head. Ok, I'll include some pictures now!
He is still not much more than a handful to hold!
Talk about COMFY!!!!!
This picture is for one of the ladies in his life...Ava Muns..she gave Kanyon this cool new thumby. It is much smaller and much more manly since it's green not purple! Thanks Ava!
