Full moon over the NICU

There must have been a full moon over the NICU yesterday because quite a few babies had some issues....and Thomas was no exception. After spending a day and a half on the cannula, Thomas had a few episodes (heart rate and O2 saturation dips) and was switched back to CPAP. (TJC mom and dad also requested that Thomas's room be switched away from his room with a window to be a little closer to the action...we want as many eyes looking at our little guy as possible...and fortunately the NICU staff was happy to comply with our request). The switch back to CPAP is a little step backwards, but has resulted in a very happy, rested, and fat Thomas. After gaining 55 grams yesterday, Thomas is now weighing in at 1,555 grams, or 3 lbs, 3 oz. The little guy seems determined to grow, and the doctors and TJC mom and dad are more than happy to sit back and let him do so. TJC mom and dad are, as always, very proud of Thomas's progress.

Below are a bunch of pictures over the past few days... we've been having a good time enjoying Thomas's new chub and dressing him up in some new outfits. Enjoy!

We'll be back soon!
