Nurse of the Year

Another good day for the little guy. He's not as little anymore, having gained 30 grams yesterday!! (That's over 3.5% of his previous body weight) He's now 845 grams. Also, he came down again on his ventilator settings and, so far, is tolerating it. He is up to 13 cc's on his feedings.

Evelyn, his nurse for the past two days is really great. We will miss her. The nurses all rotate so we rarely have the same one for more than two days. We hope to get Evelyn back soon. She was definitely one of the best we've had; though all of the nurses are amazing at their jobs, they all have different personalities. Evelyn is very warm, explains everything in a non-condescending way and clearly loves her little patients. She even gave me a hug before she left for the weekend!
