Well Logan had a setback last night. He took all of his night feedings by mouth which was amazing to me. But then at 2:00 a.m. he had a spell where he forgot to breathe and his heart rate dipped. The nurse had to go shake him to remind him to breathe again. This is common in preemies, but Logan doesn't have tons of these spells. And then the nurse thought that it looked like his breathing was labored. So the doctor ordered a chest x-ray to look at his chest and abdomen. Everything looked fine, so they thought that Logan was just exhausted from all of his feedings and maybe that is why he had the spell. He is doing fairly well today and is sleeping a lot. The nurse has tube fed him all day to let him rest. His bed temp. is also back up some since they have to leave his clothes off to watch his breathing.
I know he will get the hang of everything, it might just take awhile. I think he was trying to do too many things at once. Oh the ups and downs of the NICU. Their motto is "one step forward, two steps back." As one NICU mom put it, "One step forward and two steps back still gets you out the door." Hopefully sooner than later.

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. This is why he is still in the NICU, rather than at home. They are keeping a very important, critical eye on him. I think in Logan's case, it's 2 steps forward, one step back.
Love,
