Day 11: Coasting

In the NICU, no news is good news. There hasn't been much to report over the past couple of days.

James' feeds have continued to steadily increase. By Friday morning, he was up to 3 ml of milk every 4 hours. This increased later in the day to 3 ml every 3 hours, then 4 ml today and 5 ml tomorrow. As long as he tolerates it, he'll now be automatically increasing by 1 ml every 12 hours. Robin's been pumping like crazy, and our freezer is well stocked.

The only objective testing that has impacted James is a bilirubin that continues to fluctuate, and he is back "under the lights" wearing his super hero mask. His cranial ultrasound is normal.
