Another Day! Day 92!

5 pounds 3 ounces

I was so proud to say yesterday that we have made it to 5 pounds. This is a milestone, this is when people get ready to take there babies home. We have went multiple days lately preparing to visit Calen and expect to hear some new plans for Calen but for over a week now at least there has been no real changes on him at all, we have kinda plateaued. I am honestly not complaining about this, because no news is good news in most places. He is healthy, he is getting stronger all the time and he is becoming more and more like a real full term baby, which makes us very excited. 

We are still all over the map when it comes to his eating. He takes all of his bottles one time and the next time maybe half is we are lucky. In the overall though he is making increases, just not as fast as we would like because we are getting ants in our pants. Eating is the only obstacle to complete though, I could be wrong about that, but I am pretty sure. His oxygen hasn't changed at all, we are still sitting at 1 liter of o2 low mixed to 30% on room air. So I don't know if there is any plan to change this at all before going home, as we are making some understanding he will be going home on o2, so we shall see. 

So on Friday night Joey stated to get a fever and was acting kinda off. Gave him some Motrin and he went to bed. Woke up Saturday to Joey still feeling lousy and he still had a temperature. We were able to make an appointment at Dr. Horn's, greatest pediatrician around, they are primed pediatricians in Huber Heights in case you are looking for one. He has strep throat again. So he got stated on Amoxicillin and we all stayed away from Calen then on Saturday. Holly went back Sunday as I had work to do and then we were both in to see him today. Oh and Joey is doing much better, in fact he is rather mischievous. 

Along with everything stated above we also gave him a bath today, I love giving him a bath, we give him massages and he really likes that, and the best is that he stops stinking. He gets a bath every 3 days and between dirty diapers and more so formula he really works up a stink. 

Alright so that is all the info. Try to keep you posted. Hopefully we will hear some awesome news of going home really really soon.
