NoahFlynn: Cautiously Optimistic

Noah continues to make good progress this week. We have been coasting along pretty well since our last update. Noah's oxygen flow rate has been weaned down from 2.75 to 2 with minimal spells. He is still on continuous feeds, but has gotten up to 10.5 ml's an hour, which is the maximum dose for his weight. The formula calorie count has also been increased from 20 to 22. Current weight is 3 pounds 9.4 ounces! We are hoping to get to the 4 pound mark by the beginning of next week. Noah has been experiencing some reflux issues with all the formula he is getting. NICU staff say this is very common with all babies, and do not seem to be worried.
