Mommy feeding Jacob

Mommy got to feed his daily bottle over the weekend. Jacob did a wonderful job and drank the full bottle both days.

Proof he drank the whole bottle!

Jacobs 1st Bottle feeding

Today was a big day for Jacob. Ronda the speech pathologist met with him in the afternoon to see how ready he was to try a bottle for part of his feeds. From the different tests, Jacob was more than ready. The first test was Ronda put her finger on the side of his mouth and his tongue followed it. Second, she put her pinky in his mouth to see how well he was able to suck. Third, she stuck her finger down his throat to see if he would gag. If not, then they wouldn't even offer a bottle. Since Jacob passed all the tests, he was offered 25 cc's of my milk. He took 18 of it with no problem. Then Jacob passed out cold.

Jacob our Lil Man.

Passed out on Ronda after he worked so hard this afternoon.

Again Cameron or Jacob??????

I stumbled upon the picture of Cameron and thought the one of Jacob just looked like him. Well if he didn't have his oxygen and feeding tube taped to his face.

Breathing Treatments

Jacob has some fluid on the lungs that is from his IV fluids and the oxygen. So he gets breathing treatments 3 times a day. First mommy got to clean out his mouth from saliva.

Jacob's Suite

July 7th was Jacobs moving day from the NICU at Kosairs Hospital to the NICU at Norton Hospital. Thanks to our wonderful nurse Nicole who mentioned that we should be the next family to move over to the new area. Jacob has his own room and when mommy and daddy visit they can now relax in a recliner and watch TV or a movie.

Swimming with Daddy

We have been staying at the Ronald McDonald House right next to the hospital on weekends so we are closer to Jacob. With that we get free access to the YMCA. To keep Cameron entertained Daddy took him swimming in a pool for the 1st time. Mommy sat on the side lines and had fun watching them splash and jump around. Cameron had so much fun it was like pulling teeth to get him out.
