DAy 14 - Michael is Two Weeks Old!







Today Michael is two weeks old (already) and he is doing so well. He is no longer on any IV fluids so his PICC line will be removed within 24-48 hours. He is up to 24cc's of breastmilk every 3 hours - he is either fed via his feeding tube or a combination of bottle, feeding tube or breast feeding.

Michael also had his very first bath today - a sponge bath given by the nurse with mommy by his side - he enjoyed it and then we put on his first preemie onesie!

Michael is now considered a "feeder-grower" since his IV is out and he is not a sick baby his main goal is to eat and grow :)
