Lazy Day

The title pretty much sums it up. Luke and I didn't really do much today. There were no new orders or changes. We have officially hit the feeder and grower stage. That is the one job for my little man, to grow. I think he is finally getting the hang of the Vapotherm. His oxygen level has been a lot lower lately. Most of today he was in the lower 40's to high 30's. We haven't been this low since the dreaded Jet ventilator. Luke did have a visit from the occupational therapist today. Yes, I know what you are thinking....occupational therapist?? What? Well, apparently she comes and does some stretches with Luke weekly. Preemies are knows to be in the froggy position a lot, so she will come and help him move to the "normal" positions. She didn't do much with him today, but she has him penciled in for another visit. One nice added thing from today, we were able to move a spot down from our original spot in the room. This way we are a little farther from all the excitement. Apparently we are in the "launching pad." Hopefully this will help Luke grow a little faster so we can go home. I'm going home for the next two days so the blogs will be a little sparse. Hopefully the little man will continue the track he is on while I'm gone. Thanks everyone for your continued prayers.
