Last night, Aidric had an apneic episode (stopped breathing) so they put him on oxygen. It's just a nasal cannula set at 20%....it helped him recover and is now more precautionary than anything else. His oxygen sats have been good other than the one episode. However, due to the one episode, he will be here at least another week while they monitor him.
He is off phototherapy for now...he is still a little jaundice, but needed to come off the lights because his sodium levels are a little high. If it's not one thing, it's another! But, we're still feeling very positive and thankful for all of the things that are going his way. The doctors have said several times that he is doing amazing...sometimes it's hard to remember that he's here 6 weeks earlier than nature intended!
Good news is that his weight is up today to 4 pounds 14 ounces! (Yesterday he was at his low of 4 pounds 5 ounces). He is taking 40 ccs at each feeding now, so hopefully we'll keep seeing a steady weight gain.
Thanks for all of your continued prayers - they are making a difference!
