Little Warrior

Our little Warrior spent a lot of time on room air today. That is the nurses' term for they turned his oxygen off. While I held him tonight Caleb's oxygen level stayed at over 90% They like to see it stay above 87%. The past few days while I was holding him his oxygen levels dropped and he was having bradys (heart rate dropped to scary levels), but none tonight.

His feedings went really well today and he kept everything down. Today he weighed in at 3 lbs and 8 oz! The nurse told me yesterday that over a 7 day period they like to see babies gain 24 grams and he had gained 27 grams (I believe those were the exact numbers).

Caleb is doing great. It's amazing we can see him growing and visibly changing everyday.

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.
Ephesians 2:14

Bless you guys!
