Early morning update :/
Charlie woke up from a wonderful nap about 30 minutes ago. His O2 levels were dropping slightly during the night which kept setting off his alarms. We think that this was partially due to his positioning but they finally got to the point where the nurse decided they needed to be supplimented a bit. She put him on a nasal cannula which made him less than thrilled and he promptly woke up. Once he woke up, his levels shot up to the high 90's and she took the cannula off. He was only on it for a very brief period of time. Since he was awake, Jenny changed his diaper(which was a good one so they say), vented him, and checked his residuals which were less than 10! That is awesome for Charlie. That means his body is tolerating the feedings a bit better and in a few hours when he is less agitated, they will try and up them a little. Right now he is trying to calm himself down until his next round of meds which will be in about 15 minutes. Other than that, he has had a fairly decent night. His mama should be happy! -Shani
