March 8, 2009

Demetri gained wieght again. He is up to 924 grams. The nurse did his measurements today (every Sunday night), and he has grown to 13.7 inches long and his head circumference is 10 inches.

He is off of the phototherapy lights again. Hopefully this time for good. So he got to get dressed again. He is still doing a great job of holding his own temperature, and they are having to turn down the isolette air temperature because he is too hot. They increased his feedings today to 19 ml for his weight gain and fortified the milk to 24 calories/ounce.


Eleni came by for a visit today. She wants to sit at the isolette door and be the "doctor" and open and close it and play with the stethoscope. She says Demetri is "her" baby and not ours. Hopefully she will still think this when he comes home.
