Another Johnny Update

I just spoke with Johnny's night nurse. He gained a little bit more weight. She said he weighs 3 lbs. 4.7 oz. right now. She said they are nipple-feeding him once per shift right now. She said if he's not too tired, she will try to nipple-feed him more than once her shift. She also said he is having more blood work done tomorrow morning. One thing they will be testing for is his Bilirubin again. She thinks he looks a little yellowish. It sounds like his feeding schedule is 8:30, 11:30, 2:30, 5:30. He's taking 15 CCs at his feedings she said. I'm not sure how many ounces that is? She said if we call tomorrow before we come in we should be able to feed him the bottle if we let them know ahead of time which feeding we will be there for. That would be neat. But for now, I need to get some sleep, so I'm going to lay down and hope I can get over there to see my little man tomorrow!
