Zonked out with a full belly

Yesterday our moms came down for their weekly visit. Even though grandparents can visit at any time without the parents, we wanted to be there when they got to hold Chase for the first time. Jas is in a training all week, so I was there to take pics. Since Jas doesn't get out of his class until late, and it was pouring out he got to only visit Chase for a few minutes right at shift change:( We did get to go out to dinner with our moms before they headed back to NJ, and we ended up heading over to Clementine for Taco Tuesday-it was fantastic!

The only change from yesterday was that they stopped the diuretics for a little bit, because it ended up impacting his sodium and potassium levels. Today his potassium was up to an acceptable level, but his sodium is still a little low. They will wait until his levels are back up with the supplements before resuming the two diuretics. He also gained weight! He is now 3 lbs. 12 oz!!! He continues to need lower levels of oxygen and is having very few bradys. There hasn't been any discussion about a possible discharge date, but he continues to make progress on a daily basis. I think I mentioned in a previous post that they will sometimes send babies home on oxygen if they are relatively asymptomatic otherwise.
