Day 24
We had a nice visit tonight with Jack. His nurse was very informative and gave us information on milestones for preemies. Some of which are graduating from the “Wee Pee” diapers into the bigger ones, which he has done, and getting off that ventilator.
He is doing a very good job breathing in between the ventilator. It is set for him to breath 27 times per minute and Jack is breathing 45 to 50 times. The doctors can’t give a clear time when he will get off the vent. They always tell us that each baby is unique, but as parents, we feel it will be fairly soon.
He continues to be very stable. Occasionally his oxygen level drops a bit but that is just a signal that the nurse needs to suction his ET tube. He is handling his feedings a lot better. He’s up to 18 ccs of the 24 calorie formula every three hours.
We are looking forward to seeing Jack tomorrow, even though we just got back!
