Today was another milestone, but mostly for Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad each got to hold Alex for the first time since his birth tonight. He seemed to love being swaddled and held. He mostly just slept with some mild squirming, but he looked happy. At least Mom and Dad loved it.
His mild respiration support with the CPAP also continued. The CPAP is the tube blowing into his nose. His light therapy continues and his food intake increased by ~20 ml of milk. The food intake will increase daily. He also continues to get some nutritional support (vitamins, minerals, lipids, protein, glucose) from an IV. He got some good growing time in with quality rest today. He had some very minor bouts of fussiness along the way, but we were glad to hear from him after his time on the respirator.
