Campbell had a great day today.  He’s up to 42 ccs on his feedings, and early this morning, Tammy, the night nurse was able to get him to take his whole bottle by mouth!  Of course, he was significantly less interested in the next bottle after that, but we can only expect so much!  He’s also moving things through his digestive system on his own, so we are very hopeful that his was just a “motility” issue instead of something more serious.

Gigi got to give him a bottle today at lunch (he took about half of it), and when I went up for kangarooing this afternoon, he was smiling the whole time he took his bottle (also about half).  Thankfully, the nurse (Julie) took this picture of us since I didn’t have any available hands:

Unfortunately, while we were kangarooing, Campbell had several heart rate alarms.  He wasn’t doing this before he started getting up on his feeds again, so they think it is probably reflux.  Yesterday they started him on some prilosec, but that takes a little while to work.  So we will have to watch that.

He also is up to 4 pounds, 13 ounces.  I can’t believe he’s almost 5 pounds!
