Friday pm

Been doing very well indeed. We have both held him now, and that was sweet. A little scary, even for me despite my experience with babies WAY smaller than him.

He is off supplemental oxygen now, although still getting some flow of room air, which will be weaned down quickly. Respiratory rate a little better, still not quite consistently low enough to feed by mouth. He has finished a full 7 days of antibiotics, and since it appears he has responded well, the plan is to stop them, and then repeat all of his labs and xray on Monday to see if he gets worse while off them. If eveything looks good then and off any flow, its just a matter of feeding, and then HOME!!!!
