Finally Feeding

Since Jax has started his feeds on Sat he has been doing great. He gets one CC every 3 hours and gradually moves up as he starts to gain weight. Over the weekend he got back up to his birth weight (3.9) and is now around 3.14, so he appears to be gaining weight! As his feeds increase his nutrition by IV will decrease so his goal is to keep putting on the ounces as he begins depending on formula alone.

When Jax gets over 4 pounds he will start to move to an open air crib and out of his incubator, because he should be able to maintain his own body temp. He is already doing that well so no worries there. Jax will also be coming off the antibiotics this week, and the Doctors are saying he should not need them any more. So far its been a great beginning for Jax!!

Thank you all for all of the prayers and support! Please continue to pray that his feedings will continue to go well, he continues gains weight, adsorbs his nutrition, and that God will protect him from any other illness.

Thanks again for everything!
