Holden had a good day. A physical therapist worked with him again today on his bottle feeding and noticed improvement. He easily took over 21 ccs, which is about half the bottle. So the little guy is taking his time, but going in the right direction with his feedings.
Holden had his first experience in a bouncer chair today and loved it. The chair vibrates and plays lullabies. As you can see by the pictures, he makes himself comfortable and falls fast sleep.
So apparently our little fighter threw a big fit last night because he did not like the humidifier hood. The doctor told nurses to simply use nasal spray instead of the humidifier. Once they made the change, Holden was happy and slept well. I think we have a feisty one on our hands!! But of course, he is mine and Reece's son!
Holden had a good day. Our little guy had a growth spurt and surpassed 5 lbs!! He was a little congested. Doctors think his nasal passages are slightly inflamed due to the nasal cannula. They will have him sleep with a humidifier hood tonight (and will take the nasal cannula out of his nose) to help provide him with relief. Due to the congestion, we did not do bottle feedings today, but we will return to them tomorrow. 
Holden had a minor setback today, but is doing okay. Doctors felt he was breathing a little fast, so they increased his nasal cannula back to 1 liter. With the change, he has been breathing comfortably with his oxygen running between 21 (room air) and 24. They've also decided to hold off on his bottles today to let him rest. We'll return to his bottle feedings tomorrow assuming all is well.
Holden "weighed in" today at 4 lb. 13 oz. Doctors are increasing the calories he gets per feeding to help him put on some more weight. He did pretty good with his bottle last night, taking 30 ccs by mouth. His new goal is 41 ccs per feeding. So he is taking baby steps, but going in the right direction!!
