126th Day in the NICU

Today Drayke weighs 7lbs 1 oz. He keeps bouncing back and forth. They switched him back to regular formula with some powdered formula added in to increase his calorie intake. Also the upped his Viagra solution to 4.5 yesterday. His CO2 this morning was 80. Today they have been changing his O2 from mid 90's yo high 90's.

We went to visit him today and he was doing good. he ended up being awake for most of the time we were there. We changed him into his new garanimals outfit that has a dragon blowing bubbles. It so is like him considering his name means dragon and he likes to blow bubbles. He so has my eye color (Grey). He is just one wonderful baby boy.

Since today is a holiday we are not going to hear from St Louis till hopefully tomorrow. (Either way we will call them). Dr Karmo was going to schedule the Echo today for his heart but decided to wait till tomorrow when the orginal tech that took his echo will be on. Hopefully his heart has gotten better. Also Dr Karmo is going to call Vanderbilt to get a surgery date for Drayke's Trach. He should only be over there for 2 days or so to recover then we can get him transfered back to Centennial. Dr Karmo stated that Bed 7 is Drayke's spot until we tell them that he is not coming back.

Here are just some adorable pictures to share.
