The only change to report today is that Hunter is now on 3 hours of nasal cannula twice a day. This is an extra two hours of time on the cannula.

They tried to feed him by a bottle today. This is for the first time. He was still not ready for that. He did suck on the nipple twice, but when it came to swallowing that was a different story. Hunter turned blue. It was not pretty. He destated pretty bad. This meant that his heart rate dropped and his oxygen levels went to a very low rate. Of course, the nurse was right there and was able to get things stabilized. It was scary. This is normal for micro preemies. It is a big hurdle they have to get over. They will continue to work on it, but not right away.




Other than that, he is doing good. Daddy got to hold him today. Mommy was being generous. Hunter has a surprise on Sunday (Father's Day). I just can't say anything and let the word out now.
