Alex and Mabry are 2 months old today, adjusted age -7 weeks. Babies who are born prematurely often have two ages:Chronological age is the age of the baby from the day of birth -- the number of days, weeks, or years old the baby is. Adjusted age is the age of the baby based on his due date. Healthcare providers may use this age when they evaluate the baby's growth and development.
The big news today is...Alex is off the ventilator! We were told Sunday that this was coming, but it has been postponed several days. He was extubated today and put on bubble CPAP. He is currently on a level 8 and 35% oxygen. The nurse said he looks good & is doing well. The next step will be weening from CPAP.
Only other change today is Mabry's feedings were increased.
