Carter's first bottle feeding was a BIG success. He drank 20 mL and did great today (THANK YOU Catherine)!!! That is almost 1 ounce. He was able to regulate his breathing nicely and will now get one bottle feeding per day. He will remain on his every 3 hour feedings through his NG tube for the remainder of the time and eventually they will begin to increase the bottle frequency. If you thought that was great news like we did then you will love this next bit of news. Carter was taken off oxygen today!!!! They removed his nasal cannula at noon and he has been doing great! We just spoke with the Nurse and she said he was saturating at 98%. Katie and I are so thrilled and proud of him. You all continue to bless us with your prayers and support and we are so grateful. Thank you and I promise you a picture of Carter sucking a bottle soon!
