Josh is holding steady. His feeds seem to be going well, and he is doing great on the SNIP (Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure). He still has his desats, but they are mostly because he loses air out of his mouth. We try to plug the hole with a pacifier, but of course, like any baby he has a hard time keeping it in there. He does have good sucking, which is a plus and will be beneficial later when he can actually eat. One of the nurses (Lynn) says that she puts a little breast milk on his pacifier so that he can get a taste for it. Yummy for him!
We didn't talk to the surgeon, but Lynn said that they probably won't even think about the re-attachment until he is 2 kilo's (3 lbs 7 oz)... he needs to gain another whole pound for that.
Have a great evening all.
