With the help of some extra calories Carter has climbed back on board the weight gain train. He is now 2 pounds 13 ounces. He did have to have his feeding tube replaced since it came out yesterday as he was going back into the isolette (you may have noticed it was gone in the pics last night). He took it like a champ, didn't even cry. He remains on the high flow nasal cannula at 25% however they did decrease him from 6 L to 5 L which is good. He does have some desaturations but he is able to correct them himself. Tomorrow Carter will get his first Hepatitis B vaccination. It will probably feel like nothing compared to the needles he has had up to this point. I included a picture today of the high flow nasal cannula machine. It is much smaller than the CPAP and easier to move around for kangaroo care.
