what about hank?

hello

Hank is 11 weeks old!

hank 11 weeks 2

Hank is a tank!  He now weighs 3060 grams.  That is 6 pounds 11 ounces.  He has been gaining so much that his doctors have taken him from 27 calorie milk to 24 calorie.  Ha.  Can you believe he weighed 2 pounds 9 ounces when he was born?

Hank’s cardiologists are starting to watch him more closely.  Maybe he will be ready for his pacemaker soon?

Hank’s lungs are doing better!  Just yesterday, he was taken off of his CPAP and put on high flow oxygen.  What a surprise for us.  He started at 6 liters yesterday, and now today, he is at 4 liters and going strong.  We are excited.  Though, we have been here before.  Hopefully it sticks this time.

I have been gone to work in Logan all week, and I came back to a different baby.  We are happy for his progress.

That must have been hard to be away from him all week, but so awesome to see him chunky when you got to see him!

Go Hank, go!
