5 weeks old

I was at the hospital all afternoon and again tonight. Stu worked today so he came after work. I kangarooed with Brandon both times. Brandon has been at 21% oxygen since yesterday afternoon almost the whole time. His nurses have had to turn him up slightly for his feeds and cares but then they turn him back to 21%. He has been doing really well. He had 23 cc's of milk today. His weight was 1172 grams so another gain. Two nurses that had not seen Brandon in a few weeks stopped by his isolette tonight to see him. They both said how big he is getting. He really is starting to fill out a lot.

Dear Karen & Stu,
Just catching up with the blog and looks like Brandon has had quite a few "firsts." Congratulations! We love looking at the photos and video...keep them coming. Brandon has really grown. He is a fighter and you both possess amazing strength. Keep it up!
