Father's Day

We all went up today. Bri held him for about 30 or 40 min (Sean and I went and had a snack) but they're restricting his "outside time" because of his feeding issues. He hasn't been gaining as much weight lately because of the formula change and all - so Sean and I didn't hold hm. Getting him in and out and handing him to different people uses calories...he is still around 3lbs 2oz - don't know what he is tonight yet. They'll weigh him before feeding at 9. The nurses made a sweet fathers day card with his footprints.

He's keeping his temp up well. They started off with his bed detecting his temperature and it would go up or down as he needed. Then they set the bed at around body temp and he had to adjust his own body. Now they have the bed set to room temperature and he's still keeping his temp up well so next week he should be going to a big boy bed with lots of blankets. He's is now wearing a tshirt or onesie - so cute. Rosanne said she was going to mail me some preemie clothes so hopefully she will. I hate to buy a lot of that small size but he could use a few.

He's been there over 30 days so we could get a parking pass at least! So we get free parking whooppee. One more negative MRSA and he'll get moved out of that room and maybe even to Rex as early as next week. As long as he's MRSA negative they'll take him.
