Evan's feeds will be increased from 3 mL to 4 mL at midnight!
When we arrived at the NICU tonight, the nurse was redoing his blood gas draw. The first draw was clotted so it needed to be redone. :( The results came back with much lower CO2 levels. Hopefully he's stabilizing and they'll be able to lower the vent settings a little more.
Not much else to report on. He looked very content, jiggling away. Around 3 am his bedding will get changed. Andrew and I bought him some blankets over the weekend. After washing them, I promptly set about stinking them up. The nurses said that having our scent will help calm Evan. Unfortunately, the dogs are OBSESSED with the blankets. They seem to think they need to help stink the blankets up too. I think Evan can wait until he gets home to learn their scent.
