Eight weeks 2 days old

Evan was good off the oxygen until about 5 am this morning. He started to desat into the low 80's so he was put back on the wall oxygen. He's receiving very minimal support (basically just tickling his nose).

Evan will now be bottled or nursed twice a shift! The doctors asked me if I thought he was getting enough when he nursed or if he needed to supplement with a bottle. I told them that it seems like he gets enough and is usually disinterested in the bottle when I offer it to him. Of course I don't want him to lose weight, so we'll just keep an eye on him when he's eating.

I'm ready for story time!
What adventure is Curious George going to get into today?

The surgeons came to check on Evan's hernia. He's getting close to the 2,000 g mark that is required to operate. Unfortunately, they spent a lot of time poking and prodding so he was not a happy camper. His nurse did up his oxygen after they left since he was so agitated. Poor little guy. I can't relate, but I can only imagine I'd be pretty ticked off if someone was manhandling my tender bits. I guess the surgery is pretty simple. As long as Evan continues to gain weight, they may be able to do it sooner rather than later.
