Today was an awesome day!!! Today when I arrived Mattias was alert and ready for a feed so we tried breast feeding and he latched and sucked the whole feed. For his afternoon feed I didn't get a chance to pump before hand and he was rooting so the nurse decided to do a pre and post weight. He latched and nursed and ended up getting 20 mls from breast feeding which is half of his feed!!! So exciting and such a huge step forward! He was totally tired out for the next feed so he got that one all through the ng tube but I'm so thankful for steps forward.
Yesterday he lost 10 grams so he weighs 2181 grams ( 4 pounds 4 oz). Hopefully today he gained. Praise God for no apneas and being off caffeine. Jason and I did kangaroo care for the whole day. It was a good day in the nicu! Thank you for your prayers!
When the doctors were handing over tonight and got to Mattias they said "this is Mattias. He was born at 32 weeks. Intubated for a day and now he's growing". Then they walked away. I love that!!!!
