Luke has hit another big milestone, we are 2010 grams. This equals 4 pounds 6 ounces. He is HUGE now. I mean think about it, he was a 470 grams when he was born!!! We are now about the limit to move to a big kid crib. Melody wants to wait till Tuesday, because his isolette isn't bad till then. However, I might work some magic tomorrow. It is just nobody wants to go against the pregnant nurse. I figure he needs to join the real world. Not to mention I can sit by him, not the box everyday. The nurses pretty much let us take care of him. We do all of his care when we are there, they just listen to his chest. We get him out and put him away by ourselves. When his vapotherm acts up, we are the ones to fix it. I guess that just comes with the time of being here 10 weeks. On Monday there is talk to turn his vapotherm settings down to 2 liters a minutes to see how he does. I have a feeling he will struggle just a tad like usual. However, he can't go home on vapotherm. Also he can't try a bottle till he is off vapotherm and just on oxygen. When we say that we hope to be home around the beginning of October that may seem forever, but in actuality that isn't so far with all we want to accomplish. Hopefully Luke can keep up the growing.
