5 Week Update: A day late

So my little miracle is  now 5 weeks old! He's just growing so quickly--it's truly remarkable. He's approaching 2.5 pounds, making him one pound heavier than when he was born. And he looks so much chubbier. His arms and legs are filling out and his cheeks are looking more and more kissable each day. He's now 14 inches long and is growing into his long limbs. His PICC line was removed, so all of his medications are now given via his feeding tube.. He's  still on full feeds, but they've added calories to my breast milk to help him grow faster. The goal is to increase his growth and feeds more before they try to take him off the ventilator again. They've increased his caffeine dose to help with the brady spells he started having. Apparently, it was still dosed at a weight 790 grams. NO wonder he was having issues. The poor kid is well over 1000 now!  He's had a few issues this past week. His breathing tube has come out twice and therefore had to be replaced. The second time, my little guy ripped it out on his own, which is pretty remarkable since it is taped to his face. The most important change this week is that Jaden has been moved to an isolation unit. While he doesn't have an active infection at this time, his cultures have tested positive for MRSA. His body has walled off the colonization which shows that his immune system is working well. Because of this isolation, we are now required to wear gowns when we are next to his isolet. The nurses have to gown up and wear gloves no matter what they do for him. Fortunately, it will not affect my Kangaroo Care. As soon as my cold goes away, I can continue to hold him! What's more, is that I can start to bath him Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays provided he's doing well! I'm so excited for this!
