And his fever broke. They are still awaiting the results from the cultures, but though the Gram stains indicate presence of all kinds of little critters as you would expect, an infection isn't apparently going on.
His foley is out so he's peeing on his own. They tried feeding him breast milk through his tube yesterday, but his body wasn't sure what to do with it, so they will try again another day. Vent down to 35, oxygen back down to 24, and he seems very happy with it.
The night nurse and another were changing his bedding; the second held the vent and the first replaced the bedding. I, sadly, had to pick him up and hold him for them. A great burden for me, seeing as he gained weight again and is up to 7 lbs 13 oz.
First time I ever got to hold him . . . Time was I didn't think it would ever happen.
