Connor has a brand new bed!

Today Connor was upgraded to a new incubator bed. This "step up" bed allows him to have a quieter environment to grow and develop. He had a couple of stools that were positive for blood, but we were assured this is normal for preemies and we will continue to watch for signs of NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) which is a common, but serious, complication in preemies. I was able to do a gavage feed on Logan today. Little by little I get to do a bit more to participate in the boys care. Logan also had his vent rate dropped to 15 breaths. He still has some periods of desaturation. Hopefully tomorrow will have some new pix to post.
