Terrific Tuesday

 Leo and I ready for the day!

Today we did 8 feeding sessions.  Three of them were 10 minutes long and five of them were 12 minutes long.  The goal is endurance.  Leo did well making the transition from 10 minutes to 12.  Over a 7 hour day with 8 sessions- Leo swallowed 171 grams of formula off of a spoon.  171 grams is appr. 6 ounces.  This is awesome progress, but we still have a long way to go.  We have stopped one of Leo's five feeds and I think the plan is to drop one more the end of the week.
Special treats from Jeremy!

Tonight we also had a special visit with my Aunt Peg and Cousin Lauren.  Leo was excited to see familiar faces and I was thrilled to have adult conversation.

Please continue to pray for Leo.  Pray for his endurance in his feeding sessions and that his intake volume increases. We did have poop today.  Yay, poop!  please pray that the prune juice continues to work.
