Kaden hasn't needed any supplemental oxygen for the past couple days now and one more HUGE step he started....he is getting one of his feedings orally every shift now! They have kept it at the same amount.....just shy of an ounce every 3 hrs. He has done good with the three oral feedings he has gotten so far and eats almost all of it if not the whole amount! They tell us when preemies start oral feedings it can sometimes be a roller coaster while they get it all figured out. He is also maintaining his own body temperature and the incubator isn't having to do the work for him so that means in the next week if he keeps it up, he could be out of an incubator and into a crib. Tonight when they weighed him he was up to 3 lbs and 9.7 oz. It amazes me how strong and determined this little guy is!!!
