Sun. Nov. 4th

It's hard to believe that Luke is 40 weeks gestationaly today. It's a very emotional thought for us. We are very proud of him though, he is still doing very well. I've continued to have great nursing sessions with him. He is so soothed and comforted, it's really nice to have this bond with him after not being able to for so long. I'll be able to start nursing him more next week. The plan right now for him is to focus on his feedings and not worrying about his oxygen level too much. He actually needs very little oxygen it's just the air flow that he has needed to keep his lungs open, especially when he is at a full feed and that belly wants to push on his lungs. After he does better with his feeds, then we'll work on his air flow. Of course the plan may change if his needs change.
We've had a nice weekend and have had some great family time.
I'll post his latest statistics tomorrow.
