Ari is doing fantastic..so fabulous that he is going from SIPAP to CPAP today. He is officially up to FULL feeds which is 22 ml of breast milk every 3 hours. His nurse Donna, who is my absolute favorite nurse told me today that she heard a baby crying and was thinking it was another baby across the room when she realized that it was him, he finally has his voice back! He had tried to turn his head and he face planted and was pissed. She said she was so happy because if he has enough strength to do that then he has enough strength to get better. He was telling her what he needs and that is a very good sign! He is 30 weeks today and 35 days old.
Doctors still don't hear a murmer today and will do an echo tomorrow to confirm the PDA closed. Did I mention that he went up a diaper size!!! You can see in the picture below that he is in the next size up.
Austin's ashes were delivered to me yesterday. I probably would of done things differently regarding that had I been home but under the circumstances, it was the easiest. I have no idea what I will do with them. We had planned to spread them somewhere meaningful but I want to think about that for a long time. It has been the only decision thus far that I actually get to think on.
