Well, we had a great visit today and some really positive news today!  They’ve upped his milk again to 22 ccs every 4 hours. He’s doing pretty well with it – he’s always very excited to start eating, but he tends to tire out and not be quite as interested in the last little bit.  So, he’s having to learn to work for his food, but we think he’s doing pretty well so far.  Here’s a picture of mom burping him today:

In other exciting news, they put him in clothes for the first time today at noon when we visited!  We didn’t know to bring anything from home, so this is something they had at the hospital.  You can see that he isn’t quite sure here what to make of it in the first picture, but he settled right in in the second one:

This was a bit of a test to see if he can maintain his body temperature with just the clothes and a blanket so they can move him out of the incubator and into an open crib. They turned off all supplemental heat in his incubator to see how he did.  He apparently passed the test with flying colors, and now they have now moved him into an open crib.  This is a major step toward being able to go home.  And, this (yay!) also means he’s lost another wire.  If you’ve noticed in some of the pictures, he has a little gold duck or teddy bear stuck on his stomach, side, or back. These are temperature sensors that monitor his body heat.  Now we think they will just check his temperature every four hours to see how he is doing.

So this is hopefully the last picture we will have of him in his incubator:  🙂

And, finally, in the most important news of the day, Campbell got to watch his first Masters with dad!
