Ryan is continuing to do well.  No news means good news in the NICU.  He’s still on 2 liters/minute on the nasal cannula.  With his cleft, they estimate that he’s only getting about 1 liter/minute of support because some of it escapes through his cleft.  They plan to wean him to 1 liter/minute soon and watch him for a few days and then get rid of the nasal cannula.  They anticipate him breathing without any support in a week or two.

I didn’t kangaroo hold him today.  He had clothes on and I didn’t want to disturb him, so I held him with his pajamas on. He was so content and just slept.  He ended up having 3 outfit changes today.  He's outgrowing preemie clothes, so every time his nurse changed his diaper, she put him in a new outfit.
