Andrew and I made it to the hospital in time (what we thought) for rounds at 8:30. Unfortunately, the doctors didn't make it to Evan until 10:30ish. We didn't get much in the way of updates until then which was a bit of a bummer.
Evan is stable enough that he's sharing a nurse with his roommates. I guess it's a good thing that he's stable enough to share, but it kind of stinks that he doesn't have someone watching his every blip on the monitor.
The doctors started reducing his humidity. The humidity was high when he was born as preemies will lose fluids (and weight) through their skin. Now that he's older they can start reducing the humidity.
Oh! Out little boy is growing! He now tips the scales at 920 grams (just over 2 pounds!!!!) His feeding a have also been upped from 1 mL to 2 mL!
Evan will have a PICC line inserted today. A PICC line is inserted in the arm and is used to deliver fluids or medications. Right now they're using a line in his umbilical stump. This is only good for a few more days.
Evan grasped onto my finger for a few minted this morning. He's got a nice strong grip. He's holding onto one of his monitor lines right now. He must have just discovered his grip. Up until today, his hands have been in tight little fists.
Time for the lunchtime milking! I'm so happy that I'm able to provide for Evan. His stockpile of milk is going to start overflowing, but it will be there for when he's ready.
