Re-intubated .. AGAIN!!!

ugh, this little boy is really giving them trouble with his breathing tube!  He is continually trying to lift his head up, and he is very squirmy!  He also is creating a lot of mucus and has to get suctioned out often.  Early this morning he needed to get his tube replaced because it had an air leak..same thing that caused it last time; a mix of mucus making it easy to slide, and Collin wiggling around!

Other than that he is being a good boy! :)   He handled all feedings well and is now getting 18ml's that they are infusing with extra calories to make him big & strong!   He weighed in @ 2 lbs. 14 oz today!!  A whole pound in just under 3 weeks :)  And he is now 14 1/4 inches long!   Hopefully he will be getting his pic-line out in the next few days. He has to be stable on full feedings for a couple days before they will take him off IV fluids, but it will be one less line and one step closer to being free!!

At this moment Collin is sleeping, but has hiccups!  He is so cute :)
