Weight: 5 pounds, 0 ounces
Yep, that's right... Simon is 5 pounds! He's a giant compared to where we started! He loves smiling and looking around his room. He likes getting himself into weird positions because it gets him a lot of attention from the nurses. He's famous in NICU Neighborhood 1 for his crazy antics.
His breathing is improving. He graduated from CPAP last week and is now on high-flow. He started on 4 liters and was doing great. Today, he moved down to 3 liters. Hopefully he'll keep doing well and will move to low-flow soon. Once on low-flow, he'll start to learn to eat from a bottle. As always, Simon doesn't think he needs all this support and rips out his prongs regularly. He also has to wear a silly little hat that he hates and he wiggles his way out of that every time. We are so in love with this crazy little trouble-maker...
