111 days in the NICU, but the last 9 have been 9 Good days in a Row!
Pco2 of 53. Wacky electrolytes addressed with adding in more chloride.
Going down to 1 1/4 liters of flow tomorrow morning to watch through the weekend.
He looks great and had a great Physical Therapy workout this morning and is up to twice a day pacifier dipped in milk snacking sessions as he builds up to "binky training," next week, where PT/OT uses a pacifier with a syringe behind it to control a small amount of fluid and study him as he practices eating and swallowing.
He slept on me all day except when he woke up and stared intently into my eyes and at my face for forty minutes.
Based on the suggestion of the trauma therapist, I am taking Gigi for a special surprise visit to Disneyland on Saturday so that she gets some of my undivided mommy attention time. She is dreaming of meeting Cinderella and wondered today if she could hunt for buried sparkling jewels at Disneyland or whether Pinkalicious from her favorite book lived there.
Goodnight,
Joy

Great News! Jules looks so wonderful, especially with big sister Gigi. Nine days is the charm! Have fun in D-land.
Wonderful news! Hope Gigi enjoys Disneyland!
He is such a cute little boy--so alert and bright looking. I want to go to Disneyland too.
May I go too? No, seriously... :)
9 good days in a row - I hope this means he's turning the corner, finally! We are rooting for him. Enjoy binkie training. We loved it!
