There really isn't anything new to report since Jeremy checked in yesterday. When we got to the hospital today, the nurse reported that Owen gained another 80 grams, I believe. I can't remember exactly. It was a total of 5 oz in the last two days. That stuck in my mind more than the grams. Pick a measurement and stick with it, people. My little brain can't handle both.
He was up to 25 cc of breast milk with added formula yesterday. He started to spit up with that amount. I was surprised when we got there today and he was increased to 30 cc. He continues to spit, but it's not every feeding and it's not a huge amount like before. So, with the added nutrients he is getting intravenously they are comfortable. It seems that when he is wide awake when he eats he keeps it down better than when he's half asleep. We will talk to the doctors tomorrow and see if they have come up with any answers or solutions.
We were there for his noon feeding today and he was wide awake. After he ate we ran down for lunch and took Brendan to the zoo (along with Tony & Tina). We returned for his 3:00 feeding to find out that Owen was wide awake the entire time we were gone. I feel bad because when he is awake and the nurses are busy, he just lays in his crib looking around. It bothers me how little stimulation he gets. I mentioned that and a nurse brought in a mobile for him.
Brendan had a decent day. He went to the zoo and had a good time. It was too busy there for me. We didn't see all the animals but enough to make him happy. We'll go back some day during the week.
That is about all there is to report right now. We'll check in tomorrow. I'll try to upload some pictures then too.
