On day 12 of our nicu stay. Jeremiah is getting stronger by the day and smiling through it all. Popped the top off of his isolette today, started fortifying breastmilk with neosure, and saw the occupational therapist for a bottle evaluation. Very uncoordinated with eating, but he’s up to 25 ml from a bottle. Pumping is going well and my supply is definitely not in question.

He is still having some irregularities with his heart rhythm and minor issues keeping his oxygen levels up, but they aren’t very worried about either of those issues.

My friends baby is now on day two of his stay and is two rooms down from Miah. Friend is still in hospital back home (nicu is an hour and a half drive), but she cleared me to visit bub in the meantime, so I’ve been sending her videos and photos of him. Very much an old soul, that one.
