(838 grams or 1 lb. 13.6 oz.)

Another stable day. Grandma Pollock came by. There was a problem with my heart monitor probe and the monitor dropped to zero and started to beep loudly. Needless to say, Mom and Dad turned a little white, but the other monitor (they have two for the important stuff,) showed everything was ok. My tummy x-ray showed some air bubbles, so they may hold back my feedings for a bit. (I'll just get the vitamin/protein packed IV) But, if I have another poop, I'll get more milk from mom, then my weight should start going back up! Other than that, my blood pressure and heart rate are awesome! I'm completely off dopamine! They rolled me on my tummy, that helps me digest my food, and I was sleeping comfortably when Mom and Dad left. (They're both worried about me and my weight, but the NICU staff assures them that I'm doing great. One day at a time is all we can do.)
