720 grams

Nick had another great day today. Bryan and I went and saw him this morning. He got weighed last night and is up to 720 grams. Basically that is 1 pound, 9 ounces. That is up one ounce from his birth weight. That is really good news. He probably lost weigh, as most babies do, in the first couple of days. So, the fact that he has surpassed his birth weight already is great. All his nurses and doctors were impressed with him today.

They also lowered his vent pressure a bit today. He is getting to the point on the vent that they won't do much else with the vent. He is stable on the vent, so it will basically be there for support for him until his lungs mature more.

So, still hanging in there. Bryan and I are as well. We are so proud of our little man and his progress. We just keep looking forward to the day when we can bring him home.
