is about to install a new member. Logan moved up the ranks again today. For two of his feeds, he nursed the entire feed and didn't need any tube feeding. He did it twice in a row and by the third feed he was plumb tuckered out! He gained weight again, which is AWESOME (5 lb 2 oz). He was able to consume an entire feed without alarming, which is AWESOME. And. . . he went all afternoon without an alarm, which is indeed. . . AWESOME!
The little nugget is just trucking right along and will be home before we know it. Each of these steps are certainly in the right direction. When he sleeps, he sleeps hard (which is good because there's obviously all kinds of brain development and growth going on. His alert periods are becoming longer and he's more interactive.
We are so pleased with his progress and proud of our little guy, as its certainly hard work to do things for himself (I liken it to a treadmill session at the gym, every three hours). We've also been enjoying visitors now and then. We'd just remind you to please call first (you can't gain access to the NICU without Dale or myself) and know that Logan's down time is precious and necessary. Please don't be offended if we defer your visit for another time or ask you to cut it short. We absolutely do not want to do anything that would jeopardize the progress he's made.
That said, THANK YOU for your prayers and thoughts. We look forward to the day when we can bring him home and share him with the world (I think you're really gonna like him, but I'm a little biased) Have a great weekend and please be safe and stay cool. It sounds like its gonna be a scorcher out there (at least here in Omaha relative to the summer we've had).
Much love!
Dale, Michelle, & Logan
