Day 99

Mom & Dad visited today. Alex has been weened down to 1/4 liter oxygen & is doing well. They are still going to try to ween him off oxygen before coming home. He is doing well on feedings but still has other issues keeping him from coming home (being on diuretics, gaining weight). So while they are working on those things there is still time to get him off the oxygen. If he is off the diuretics and gaining weight, he could be sent home on the oxygen. He just came off the cpap on Monday, and has already went from 1/2 liter down to 1/4 liter today.

Both babies ate really well while we were visited, eating upto 80 ml. We also learned how to take Mabry's blood pressure.
