February 16 - Slow Sunday

It's official-our little Oliver thoroughly enjoys being held. He has started to show us that he strongly prefers being in our arms and sleeps much more soundly and for longer stretches when we're holding him. If we aren't there he is happiest on his left side. He will tolerate being on his right side (though not for nearly as long) and he absolutely does not like being on his back. He also doesn't mind having his blood pressure taken but taking his temperature really gets his goat! It is so fun to learn his little quirks ;)

Rounds were pretty unexciting this morning. Oliver had a little blood in his stool early this morning so they are not going to feed him today in order to give his tummy a break. There is question about whether it's irritating his digestive system to have so much formula in my breast milk so when they start feeding him again they will lower the amount of formula they are giving him-which makes me happy because I really don't like having the formula in my milk in the first place. :)

Oliver's platelets were 11,000 this morning. The orders state that he gets platelets if he is under 10,000 but he got them this morning anyway. We have to wait until Tuesday for his next bili level but I am praying that it continues to drop. Otherwise we are just enjoying gazing at our little fighter and waiting for tests to roll in...
