Day 32 thru Day 36

We love our new pod (step down from critical unit). We call it Pod B. But, we miss our Level 3 nurses terribly..amazing how close we get to the ones caring for your loved ones.
He continues to do well...they took him off of his continous feeds on Friday and started on 17 ml every 3 hours. As of today, Sunday, he is on 26 ml every 3 hours and is handeling it very well. This is the maximum amount of milk for his weight so as his weight changes so will the amout.
2lbs 15 oz as of Saturday night...might be 3 lbs today...WOOHOO!
The nurse practioner told his today in the orders that they want Carter to start exploring when I hold him so we are starting to prepare his to nurse which I think might happen in a couple of weeks.
Thank you for your prayers and please continue..we still have a ways to go before we have him home.
