4 Weeks Today!

It's been 2 days since our last update and our boy has grown so much! Collin is now 3 pounds 1 ounce  and is 15 inches long. That's 1 inch in a week! The past couple of days have been okay for the most part. Yesterday morning, our little man was getting his air tube re-secured and he ended up extubating himself yet again. This is always a scary thing that happens but the nurses at Elliot always know how to react quickly and get a new tube in. Turns out it was for the best. When his old tube came out, a huge amount of yucky stuff came out of him and now he's breathing much better with his new tube and without all that stuff in his lungs. It's a lot of stress on him so he's been very sleepy lately. Today, mommy kangarooed with Collin for a couple of hours and he loved it as usual. He's now on 25 ml of milk and handling it great. We last learned that the ventricles in his brain are still showing no more signs of swelling, and the bleed is beginning to dissolve. This takes a long time to completely go away but he's on his way! They scheduled a scan later this week to check the progress..that's all for now!
