A Good Week
Kian has had a pretty good week. He has been stable on his nasal prongs. In fact, they are slowly weaning him down, and today he is getting 3.5 liters/min, down from 5 a few days ago. I have gotten to hold him now 2 days in a row. We wrap him up in blankets and I hold him in front of me and just stare at him. He tolerates that much better than kangaroo care (skin to skin). He has grown eyelashes now, and is much more alert and awake than previous weeks. So now his main task is to rest and grow and mature. He'll get an eye test this week (Papa says I better hurry and teach him his ABCs, but I don't think it's that kind of test), and in a couple of weeks maybe he will start eating from a bottle. Oh yes, current weight: 2 lbs 14 oz.

bad spelling error in the deleted post. sorry!
I am glad that you are able to hold Kian. Has Chris held him yet?
You will have to let us know how they do the eye test. I hadn't even noticed/thought about him not having eye lashes!
Good luck this week. The girls can help out next week starting Sunday night until Wednesday night. Let us know.
