Good Day! Great Progress!

It was a day of positives.  Today Leo had a brain ultrasound that is always ordered for preemies at one week old to check for bleeding.  He passed with flying colors.  He also graduated from his larger CPap machine to just a little oxygen through the nose.  The old machine required Leo to wear a hat, so we were so excited to see his head of hair and he seemed to be more content not having to wear the larger one.  Leo loves to grab things with his hands, and as I was there helping change his diaper this afternoon, he grabbed his nose piece and ripped it off.  He now has to wear little mittens.  The nurse loves working with him, and really like his feisty attitude.  Another great thing that happened today was they were able to start feeding him my breast milk. They currently feed him through a feeding tube, but hopefully he will graduate to full feeding in the next couple of weeks.  We, along with the doctors and nurses, are very impressed with all the progress Leo makes each day
