Day 8 in the NICU

So we have almost made it through day 8 here in the NICU!  Last night was a hard night Dominic hit a plateau with his eating and just couldn't keep going.  We ended up having to place a feeding tube for one of his feedings just to give him a little rest, which then ended up being that he needed more oxygen added again.

Today went well and he ate like a champ again and has been gaining weight!  He is now at 5 lbs 11.2 oz. a little under 2 oz. now from his birth weight.  He has grown an inch over the past 8 days and is a whooping 19 inches long!!

Still waiting patiently for the doctors to tell us that he can come home and be with his family!

Keep sending your prayers our way!
