2040 grams, up 40 from yesterday. 40 grams = approx 1.4 ounces. Let's call 2040 grams 4lbs 8oz. Ashton is back at birth weight.

The nurse last night gave one feeding by tube, the other 7 of the day were by mouth. In report she said he was 'too tired'. I really question that. In the past three days he has eaten all but three meals, and the other two were because of busy nurses. I think I will ask them to pull the tube today to lose that excuse.

They turned down his air temp slightly and he is doing well so far. I think they will continue to slowly turn it down to room temp to see how he adapts.

Three A's&B's, maybe four. Does not seem any worse without the nasal canula. The doc said this morning that most kids stop 100% by 36 weeks, which would be one more week for Ashton. I hope he finishes ahead of that as he has to stay 7 days after the last episode.

Enjoy your Friday!
