We got much better rest at home last night, although the drive to the hospital this morning in rain and traffic wasn’t pleasant. The morning started out strong again with 2 back to back complete 45 mL bottle feedings at 6am and 9am. Dr. Deepa Ranganathan is worried 8 bottle feedings a day is too many for Dax’s little heart to handle at this point, so she’s changing his schedule to 6 bottles feedings/day plus 2 tube only feedings. We requested the tube only feedings be at 3am and 3pm (or times when we are not there). His billiruben numbers continue to go down and a urine test he had done late last week to test for CMV came back negative. They want him to gain 15-20 grams a day (or about ½ to ¾ ounces).
Dad got “Christened,” if you know what I mean, but he really has no one to blame but himself considering he had just changed Dax’s diaper himself. Gotta get those babies tight! Bert also took Jade out for a great sushi dinner tonight at Taka in Buckhead. (Sushi is what she missed the most during pregnancy.)
