Flexing his muscles

Today was a very hectic day at the NICU - a lot of babies being born and one of the step down care rooms was being cleaned so those babies were all over the place.  I thought it was too loud for Matthew to come out, so he stayed in his isolette.  Shortly before I left he received some musical therapy from a woman that comes arounds and plays guitar and sings to the babies.  Matthew loves his tunes, so he seemed to enjoy that.

He is looking pretty beefy in this pic, flexing his baby muscles.

The Good

Matthew tolerated his feeds well today with the increased amount of 30cc.  He also has tolerated his decrease in pressure, and even spent some time on his back last night, which isn't his favorite position, and got a few hours at room air this morning.


The Bad

Matthew continues to need baby steps when bringing down his NIPV settings.  This will likely mean it will take him a little longer to get from NIPV to the CPAP.


The Ugly

No Ugly today for Matthew - fingers crossed it stays that way.
