Wednesday Update

There isn't too much to report today.  Wyatt continues to lay on his belly comfortably, preferring that to any other position. 

He is up to feedings on 10 mL each time and a human milk fortifier (calories) is added to each feeding.

Despite his good feedings, he is down in weight, 80 grams, to 1 pound, 8 ounces (below birth weight :( ) but the NICU staff doesn't seem overly concerned by this.  We know weight fluctuation is normal.  They have probably weighed him again by now (he's weighed every night) so we'll have another update tomorrow.

They took his breathing face mask (NAVA) off for a little bit today and the respiratory specialist was massaging his face.  We were able to snap a few pictures then.  He has some derma-bond (water based substance) on his face so that the machines aren't applied directly to his skin, hence the funny clear-like substances you see :)
