Day 37 of Life - July 25th
Piggy is now receiving 14 cc of breastmilk and is definitely ready for more. Ma held him for a few hours this afternoon and he kept turning his head towards her, opening his mouth, sticking out his little tongue and making sucking motions!!! What a little turkey!!!
His oxygen has decreased to a flow rate of 10 in approximately 30% oxygen. They figure that in another day or 2 they will try him on the Aladdin again. This is probably a good thing, as the little sucker keeps trying to pull out his intubation tube!
He also has a little red spot on his forehead, about the size of a pin prick, which could either be a strawberry birthmark (like his Uncle Kabooblah) or a hemangioma (a collection of red blood cells that form a "growth" on the skin). There is no way to tell at this point, as it is too early to tell. Most hemangiomas will resolve within the first 2 years of life. So, at this point, all we can do is wait.

I'm so happy to heat that Sha is doing so well. I love the pics of Ma and Pa and Grandma holding Sha. He is so precious.
