Friday, July 24th Update

Happy Pioneer Day! I wanted to share this sweet thought my Nana emailed me yesterday. In thinking of pioneer day tomorrow, I have just read from President Hinckley: "Their tremendous example can become a compelling motivation for us all, for each of us is a pioneer in his own life, often in his own family . . .  to gain strength for whatever lies ahead."  Little Cooper is a real pioneer and fortifies my desire to keep moving forward. 

Today was a great day for Cooper. This morning they weaned his high flow oxygen from 5 liters to 4, and Cooper tolerated this change very well! The resident said they will continue to wean Cooper on the high flow oxygen, and possibly be taken off the high flow as early as Monday. We continue to be amazed and so grateful for how well Cooper is breathing. 

They stopped fortifying his feeds and put Cooper on a continuous feed flow today, hoping he would tolerate the feedings better than yesterday.  Before we left this evening the nurse weighed Cooper, and he gained 40 grams! (Up to 1000 grams from 960 yesterday) 


Cooper did tummy time for six hours this afternoon, and it was the cutest thing ever! (see pictures below) He was very alert today. :)
