Coburn Kids

All right, Caden is 1780 grams right now (3 lb. 15 oz.) and 16 1/2 inches long. He finally came off his oscillator Saturday at noon and is on a high-flow nasal canula. He’s doing wonderful with that. It irritates his nose a bit but his oxygen is holding and though he’s having some decelerations in his heart rate he’s tolerating it well.

Other big news is that mommy and daddy finally got to both hold him! The little guy looooves to be held and loves to be swaddled. He’s awake a bit more now and we’ve even heard his hoarse little cry. Because the tube was down his throat for so long it will take a while until we hear his real cry.

We also received the most wonderful presents today. During church we were asked to come into the primary and the children and teacher presented us with Get Well Soon cards, bibs they colored themselves and a blanket. We brought the blanket up to the NICU tonight and took pictures. Those will come in a bit. So a very good weekend!
