Day 27 - Back on Track

He loves to touch his face

We woke up both feeling good as new this morning and spent the day at the hospital. The nurse pulled his PICC Line out in the early afternoon (a much easier process than putting it in) which was indicative of how well he is handling the fortified milk. The PICC Line was so tricky to put in, I am confident they waited until they were 100% he would be able to get all his food needs met through milk before taking it so they wouldn't risk needing to put it back in.

I held Milo for 2 and a half hours and then traded and Shelly held him until we came home. He is doing great although still needing his CPAP. They are experimenting by raising the pressure to see if it helps mitigate his spells. They are still unconcerned with these breathing troubles as he is still a tiny little guy and his lungs are still developing. Usually by 32-34 weeks they start working well on their own and we are only just to week 33 (tomorrow!)
