Today Cooper's feedings were increased, but unfortunately he still lost weight (down to 970 grams from 1000 yesterday). He was weaned down to 3 liters of high flow oxygen (from 4 yesterday) and is still doing very well respiratory wise. Those were the two big changes from today!
Obviously I think Cooper is the cutest baby ever, but then we put a tiny hat on him and I could barely handle the added cuteness! Today Taylor and I were both able to hold him for an hour, and he was so sweet and alert while we held him. Holding Cooper makes the emotional hours in the NICU, the long commute to the hospital, stress and worry about the future, and the heart break each evening as we drive away from the hospital without Cooper all worth it. Nothing else matters in those perfect moments holding Cooper! We sure love our wonderful, tiny boy.
