They found a little blood in his tummy so they've stopped the feeding for now. I was told it was old blood and probably an irritation from the tube. But just to be on the safe side they stopped the feeding. Other than being a little cranky during his cares (diaper change etc.) he was pretty good. We're still trying to get back down to 21% on the vent which is room air but he hasn't been down that far since he had the surgery. I hope he'll get back there soon.

Today Angie and Yvette came to vist and I had a nice afternoon with them. Much needed!!

Tonight I'm going back for kangaroo care!! Nothing makes me happier than holding my son.

One hard thing about him being in the isolet is seeing him cry and not being able to pick him up and comfort him. All I can do is just hold his tiny head and try to soothe him. It's frustrating. But when he seems to calm down with me there or by my voice it makes me really happy.

They've also started giving him caffine which is supposed to help him with his breathing. Apparently most preemies are on this. I find it funny he gets caffine and mom can't have any. :)
