Big Day!





Alexandre is doing very well & as of today he is solely dependent on feedings for nutrition as his central line was removed! So, his only 'wires' now are to monitor his heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation. He gained another ounce today, putting him at 3lb. 14oz. He's taking about 30ml per feeding (the amount slowly increases everday) mostly by gavage (tube feeding) but will take 2 bottles a day, usually by Mom or Dad.
Warning.... the following video has scenes of nudity and some large amounts of poo, viewers discretion is advised!!
