Yep, Luke gained 30 grams (about an ounce) this morning (yesterday I bet he wouldn't gain anything). They also bumped his feedings up to 21 cc's. Luke's breathing also improved too, so they dropped his flow down to 5 liters (from 6).
The best part of the day was that Wendy got to hold the little guy for 2 hours straight! He did a great job of holding his temperature during that time, which is important. While Wendy was holding Luke, our Pediatrician stopped by...I guess he stops by most nights while checking on his other patients...he was very pleased with Luke's progress, which makes us feel great. According to the nurses, he's one of the few pediatricians in town that checks on 'his' preemies. It's pretty cool because he's not really supposed to worry about caring for Luke until he's discharged.
On a side note, one of the comments asked about the long term twins (actually triplets) that Luke was rooming with at various times. We're happy to report that they're doing great and have finally (after 5 months) been moved to a less critical room. Their parents are very happy now that their stay in the hospital is almost over.
Thanks again for your prayers, please keep them coming!
Cheers,
Colin

Boy, am I late on posting to the blog site. You'll have to "box me around the ears".
Happy birthday to Jake and happy anniversity to Colin and Wendy. We lift the quartet up to the Lord.
Have a good evening with peewee.
God bless the quartet,
Don Tomas
