Carter has been doing well today. He is drinking from his bottle right now. I must admit it is a little nerve racking not being able to see his oxygen saturation while feeding him since I often relied on this number. As he gets the breathing thing down a little better it will be a lot easier. They are going to begin increasing the number of bottles he drinks each day. So far he up to three a day. Sunday night they plotted his length, head circumference and weight on the growth chart and Carter is in the 30th percentile for his gestational age. This is very good for him since at one point he was at the 10th percentile. Also today we received Carter's MRI results. He would not have normally had one however it is part of the PENUT trial. His results were good however they did see a little residual blood from his brain bleed that the ultrasound did not pick up. This is not surprising since an MRI is much more sensitive than the Ultrasound to detect this. Overall it was a great scan.
