A Big Day for Cameron
Today our little Cameron made us proud. He breastfed for the first time! We're going to start trying it twice a day, with his tube feedings in between. He's not getting too much from the breastfeedings yet, it's just to get him used to it.
He also got all the way up to 3 pounds 2.2 ounces- that's 2.2 ounces above his birthweight. A lot of times, it takes a week just to get back up to birthweight, so we are pretty excited that he's exceeding it in just 5 days.
He is being slowly fazed off his IV. It will be nice to see him without his little club-hand one of these days.
Overall, he is little, but doing great. Before coming home, he has to be feeding from breast and bottle only (and growing from it), as well as be able to regulate his own temperature (a difficult feat before coming home to our cold house).
We'll keep you updated. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

Keith and I are so happy for you two wonderful people. Congratulations! PTL that Cameron is doing so well; we'll put him on our prayer list.
Loved the story about the meaning of his name and how he fulfilled that!
Blessings on all three of you!

Great pictures- I like the one with the quarter! We can't wait to meet Cameron!
Congratulations to mom, dad and Cameron. This Blog spans the distance all the way to Alaska!I'll send the link to the kids in NH.
PS turn up the heat when Cameron goes home. Larry
