Anders is basically the same as yesterday with only some slight changes. His IV feedings are basically done. He has a placeholder auxiliary bag that they will take away in about a day at which point he will be on full feedings--16 mils every 2 hrs.
Anders also graduated to a larger diaper size. The diapers now go up to his armpits!
Anders' alarms now go off when his oxidation level dips below 85% rather than 80%. They are challenging him more than before. They are also trying to slowly decrease the number of breaths the machine gives him.
We both held him today and he loved it. He looks so funny after we hold him--a total state of relaxation. He was grabbing my collar bone tonight, which sort of tickled.
It was a doubly good day because Brett Favre signed with the Vikings. My delivery room joke about Anders making up his decision faster than Brett Favre is topical again! Yes, Favre has set the NFL record for incomplete retirements, but I don't care. The Vikings are relevant again for the first time since the Love Boat.
We are moving out to Edina tomorrow morning. Anders will remain in Minneapolis for another couple weeks at least before he heads to the suburban hospital in Edina.
Anders also has a new neighbor next to him. I think the preemie girl formerly next to him transferred elsewhere. The new girl is a 37 week old giant baby.
I guess more happened today than I thought.
