Day 73 of Life - August 30th
Well, I don't have too much to report on the little Turkey tonight...but what I do have to say is happy, happy news! He has passed 2 more milestones!!!
First of all, little Sha now weighs in at 2025 g (or 4.464 lb)! So, he has almost tripled his birth weight and he got another ribbon!!!
And now for the best news...after nursing handover tonight, little Sha is moving to the NPCU (the Neonatal Progressive Care Unit), which is the second last step towards going home!!! Such a good boy! That only leaves Care By Parent...
In other news, Sha is scheduled for an MRI next Tuesday. There's nothing to be concerned about...it's actually part of the study thta he is enrolled in.
Ma tried a different type of bottle today, since the boy keeps desaturating during feeds. However, Sha showed his displeasure with this bottle by spitting up twice! I'm sure they won't be trying that again!!!

Congratulations, Sha! This goes to show that you are all doing a wonderful job looking after him. Ma, I love the looks of the Ronald McDonald house. I'm glad that you like the place, and that it is homey. Please take care, he looks great in the pictures! What a cutie.
Love,
Auntie Kris
