Morgan is doing better

Hi everyone. I just wanted to give a quick update. I just got back from Charlottesville and Morgan is looking like himself again! He is down to 6 pounds 4 ounces which is good because he was was too puffy before. He is still switching between CPAP and nasal cannula although the nurse and I both thought he was doing better on nasal cannula so hopefully he will switch over to that completely soon. But on CPAP he is only on 21% oxygen which is what room air is, so he isn't requiring an increased amount of oxygen he just likes the flow of it into his nose. On Monday he had blood in his stool so they stopped feeding him again and started him on antibiotics but as of today all of the cultures had come back negative and they are probably going to start his feeds again tomorrow. I am hoping this is the last infection scare and we can just focus on eating and breathing. Because he is doing better with the breathing I am hoping Morgan won't have to come home on oxygen, but wouldn't mind too much if he has to and that is the last thing stopping him from being released. Morgan is also doing very well sucking on the pacifier, it really calms him down if he is upset. I am confident he will do even better with bottle feeding when we start trying again. That is about all for now!
