Today was mostly a sleepy day. After being up for much of the day yesturday, Harris slept through mommy's whole visit, which included a PT appointment - he slept through PT. Dad says "eating and sleeping, working out and sleeping that is the life." It didn't change that our visit together was a wonderful one - Harris's oxygen was reduced to 0.5 liters - and he is doing great. Feeding continues to make him quite sleepy and he is still only able to successfully take 3 oral feedings a day. Harris had an evaluation by the speech and language pathologist to assess his eating and it they believe the delay is really just stamina - which will come in time!
The little man has a new favorite cuddle position, he loves to lay on mommy or daddy's chest - in the NICU they call this Kangaroo Care. I have to admit it is one of Mom favorite also.
So if Harris slept all day... you can only imagine what happened tonight during daddy's visit- when mom was home cleaning the house - that's right the little man was WIDE awake. Daddy spent some quality time with Harris and for the first time gave Harris a bath and changed his cloths. The nurse weighed Harris during Daddy's visit and he weighed in at a whopping five and a half lbs!
