Kali and I have had a great day filled with great company. Today, mommy, Aunt Brandy, and Vanessa came up and spent the day with us and then after they left, Nana and Pepaw came up and spent more time with us. I weigh 4lbs 8oz and Kali weighs 3lbs 11oz. Guess what the doctor did today? They took off my oxygen monitor so now on my screen, it only shows my heart rate and my respirations. It no longer shows what my oxygen level is. Mommy got really nervous and had to double check with the doctor that she was sure she wanted to remove it. Mommy is silly! Any time we do something new, she gets really scared. Mommy fed me my bottle today and I took all but 6cc. That means I took 35cc by bottle and 6cc through my tube to total 41cc. I made mommy really proud of me today. She could not believe how much milk I took from the bottle. Tomorrow, I will try to do even better. Kali did a great job today also. She took 18cc from the bottle and 15cc through her tube to total 33cc. Kali dropped her oxygen level one time but she was choking on a little bit of milk. She came right back up though. After mommy fed me my bottle, Aunt Brandy got to hold me and so did Vanessa. Then after Kali ate, Aunt Brandy got to hold her. Then later, Pepaw got to hold me through my 6:00pm feed and Nana got to hold Kali. We got a lot of love today. I can't wait until tomorrow to see daddy! Kali and I have been working up something special for him.... Kali or I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!
