NEW DIGS

Justin had his first full day in ICC today. He was moved last night at around 9pm. He was weighed this morning and weighs 4 lbs 4 ounces...not sure if there is a discrepancy in the two scales between the NICU and ICC or if he is just a machine. Either way, he is getting bigger, haha! He was able to start eating on his own for the first time today. The doctor told me to expect him to eat for about 1 minute and then fall asleep. And that is exactly what he did! He is still a little premature to get the whole sucking, swallowing, breathing thing all at once. But, we are off to a good start. At least he did what the doctor expected. We will keep working on it a little everyday and eventually he will get it. He is doing great on his 1 liter of flow. Hopefully they will keep him on that for a few more days and then see how he does on less. For now, they will just make sure he isn't requiring too much oxygen. Other than that, absolutely nothing new. Will write more tomorrow :)
