Steve has been stable on the nasal oxygen throughout the night. In fact they reduced the quantity of oxygen from 28 to 25%. (Normal air is 21%), so we really are getting there.
His Billiruben levels are up, but the doctors says she's not going to put him back under the lights just yet. Bit concerning for me....
He's eating more of mom's milk (25ml per feed) and when they get this up to 40ml, they'll pull out the other feeding tube that's providing him with his supplement. I hope that this happens in the next 4 or 5 days.
He's sucking his dummy a bit, but then he spits it out after a while and starts screaming. Lets hope he's more receptive to moms boob. Little doubt there though :-)
So in a nutshell, for now we're moving forward. Slowly for the time being, but that's fine.
