ONE MILLLLLLLLLLLION DOLLARS

As you can see from all of Justin's pictures, he is very expressive. Today, his new look is Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. He puts his hand up by mouth with just his pinky up like Dr. Evil does when he requests 1 MILLLLLLLLION DOLLARS. My dad got a great shot of him in this pose and I will post it later tonight as soon as I get it. 

We are up to 3 lbs 4.5 ounces today. He is getting 6 mls of milk per hour and our goal is 9 mls. They keep increasing the amount because his weight is increasing so they need to keep up with that. They also increased his calorie intake to 24 calories versus 22 calories. They have two different fortifiers, one adds 2 calories and one adds 4. They decreased his high-flow to 3 liters instead of the 4 that he was on and he seems to be tolerating it well. He is still on a very low (if any) oxygen level. For the most part, he just requires room air which is great! The doctor is very pleased with his progress and is not worried about the infection at all anymore. All of the results came back negative. He should just have a few more days of antibiotics (until mid-next week) and then he will hopefully get his IV taken out...for sure this time! Other than that, things are great! Check out Dr. Evil later. Ha!
