Day 13 and Day 14: Sunday and Monday April 10-11, 2011

We apologize that we didn't do a blog yesterday, but we have found other things to do while at the hospital and that is to hold our little boy.

Once again he is steady. Saying that he is making a ton of progress would be a little misleading because every time that we think that he is ready to come off of CPAP his little lungs get exhausted and we have to put him back on it.

It has been a little frustrating, but his tiny body knows what it needs and is just waiting for the right time. We are learning this is all at Henry's pace, no matter how eager we are to have him home.

On CPAP

I think that he just trying to develop the right "look" and is trying out each one carefully before he decides.

Here is a youtube video of Henry and his progress this afternoon. I think that he looks pretty strong.

Henry is eating really well and in fact has officially gained weight. His has gained exactly one once and is weighing in at 6lbs 7oz.
