Happy 2 week birthday!

Jack's been super feisty the past 3 days, and today was only a slight exception. He's been quiet for most of the day, with only one incident that involved him unhooking his cpap tube. He desaturated once while we were there, but a simple massage and readjusting his cpap got his saturations back up. To be desaturated means that his oxygen level's down, and happens when he's not breathing right or not pulling the oxygen into his blood.

They've kept him at 15 ccs of food every 3 hours, and are now adding extra calories to it, to help him become a fat baby. :) He's doing well for the most part with it, usually leaving no residuals, and when he does, it's not much. He's back down to 2 pounds 3 ounces, because of the lasix, which is making him get rid of extra liquids.
