Six pounds plus

Abraham's weight is up to 6 pounds 12 oz. His oxygen requirements have decreased over the last week, he is between 21% (room air) and 45% depending on what is going on with him. He is still on high flow oxygen (helps keep his immature air ways open and stimulates him to breath). He is on 2 liters, was on 3-4 liters last week. This is good. His head size is up 2 cm in 10 days which is either good or bad growth. Typically it is normal for a baby's head to grow 1/2 cm to 1 cm a week. His is growing too rapidly however his whole body was too. This could mean that he needs the shunt placed. He had a ultrasound of his head done yesterday. I don't know if there were any changes or not. He is on straight breast milk, 2 ounces every 3 hours with the NG tube. He is still doing Binky training once daily. He takes 1-5 cc (1 tsp is 5 cc) of breast milk during this. he has a very long way before he can breast feed or even bottle feed like a normal baby. However he is currently going on 37 weeks gestation so he is considered a "term baby" now. Glenn is currently holding him. He tolerates being held more often. He is on caffeine still, thyroid medication, calcium, sodium phosphate and iron daily. I am going to check on his ultrasound and if he still needs the thyroid medication. New pictures will be updated later.
