April 20. NICU day 3

We arrived just in time for the little man's feed and Jason have him the feed while I pumped. The I latched him on for some sucking practice. He is getting the idea slowly:) he gets really mad when he is changed and has a good set of lungs ;)
His antibiotics were stopped after cultures came back negative. His dobutamine for perfusion was stopped. All awesome steps in the right direction.

We were able to hold him quite and bit and had him on the breast for practice with every feed. At his 5 pm feed he was actually acting hungry and sucked quite a bit. Just until daddy puts the milk though the ng tube then he falls asleep content. We changed diapers and adjusted his bed and transferred him in and out of the isolette. All things you take for granted when you have your baby at home. Now we rejoice when we are able to be apart of his care.

His feeds are up to 29 cc a feed so the plan over night was to stop all tpn and iv fluids!!! Pumping is going great and I am way ahead supply wise so hopefully we can avoid supplements.

We are praising God for his work and for what a miracle Mattias is. We are in love with this boy! Thankful he is here and doing so well!
