Well, I just got back from visiting the little guy. He's still doing well. But we're sometimes taking two steps forward, then one back. He's occasionally requiring a little supplimental oxygen, but then he'll go hours on room air without any problems. David is eating, but only about half what he needs, so he's lost a couple of ounces, down to 5 lbs, 0.7 oz ( 2288 grams). He is out from under the UV light too. I'm not sure how low his bilirubin is, but it's low enough for now.
I did get to feed him tonight though. He's getting the whole stop breathing, suck, swallow, start breathing routine down, but he still gets tired, or just likes to go slow. I fed him 25 mls and it took 40 min. David also got dressed for the first time in his 6 days of life, and I got to do that for him. Yeah, it's a little big for him now, but just you wait!
