Today Trevor is a week old! I got to hold him. He was very squirmy for the first 20 minutes or so, but then fell asleep. He is up to 9 ccs of milk. If he does well with his feedings tonight and in the morning, they are going to take out the line that is in his belly button. It has the electrolytes, lipids, and caffeine. But he should be getting what he needs now from the milk, and the IV is a risk for infection. The doctor came by and spoke with me. He said they will be trying to get him off the respirator within the next few days as well. His blood-gas levels weren't so great the past few days, but he said today's levels were good. The respirator is at a very low level so he does alot of breathing on his own. So that is looking promising!
