Joseph is now weighing in at a massive 3lb 5.5oz!!!! Quite a jump from the previous night, but he's really starting to pack on the weight, which is a really great sign! His oxygen assistance is in the upper 30's right now, which is a little higher than we had hoped, but the nurses and doctors don't seem to concerned, especially since they have lowered the pressure of the assisted breathing and the total number of assisted breaths! His feedings are going great too, which is obvious from his weight gain! Hopefully we're looking at 4 pounds in a week or so!!!
Nicholas also put on some weight last night but still remains at 2lb 13.75 oz. I know this is less than his 2lb 14oz but he was on the diuretic to decrease his puffiness, but he responded well and is has been off of the diuretic since Sunday night, and has started to gain weight again. Nicholas is doing great on his oxygen assistance which was down to 25% this morning! The nurse was going to talk to the doctor about moving him to the "High Flow" which I discussed yesterday, so we're praying that he is able to get there!!!

Boy, Joseph, you are starting to put on weight as well as I can!!!! Keep it up, little one...We're all waiting til you get big enough to go home. Nicholas, hopefully when they can increase you to the high flow, you will catch up with brother. So good to hear you had a great night. So did I. That moving rocks tires this old lady out to say the least. You boys take care, grammy will check on you again tonight or tomorrow. Stay well. Prayers, hugs and kisses to All.
