Carter and I just finished with kangaroo care. He did well through it and only had a couple desaturations. He actually sounded the high alarm more than we have seen him do but he has been consistently on 30%-34% oxygen concentration. As always it was amazing to hold him. They started him on Lasix today which is a diuretic. He will be on that the next three days. They think that he may have some fluid that could be contributing to his increased need for more oxygen. We are hopeful that this will improve what we have been seeing since last Friday. We have been telling him about all of the prayers and love that is being sent his way. He has been pretty awake since we have been here today which has been nice. It has given his great grandma who was with us today some time to talk to him and see him do more than sleep. He does weigh 3 pounds 6 ounces today but we are expecting to see that drop now that he is on Lasix. His first diaper since the Lasix just weighed in at 50g which is significantly heavier than most of his diapers (14-20g). Also, Carter got a new baby cave last night, it's identical the his other isolette but they have to switch it out every so often with a clean one.
Carter says "I love my new baby-man cave!". He looks so cute.
