Lots of good news

Ali • Sun, Jun 26

So today has been amazing!! We got a great update from Nolans NICU dr. They lowered the amount of assistance he was getting down by over half!!! He is still receiving oxygen but only 20% which is like him breathing the air we breath as opposed to the 80% saturation he was on. This is a huge deal!!! He is doing perfectly at that and handling stress & stimulation well he remains stable the ebtire time. I'm so proud of him he is so strong. Now other good news is my milk has finally come in! I started with about 3 ml colostrum per side at each pump session for the first day then dropped down to 1ml each session then went up to 5 ml and now I'm officially up to 3 oz per side!! That's right I said OUNCES!!!! 😍😱 Nolan is recovering 10 ml every 3 hrs through a feeding tube still so he will be able to be exclusively fed my milk now!!!
