June 8th to June 14th, 2010
Cameron is still in the hospital.
On Friday June 11th, Cameron started to eat more by bottle (about 30 to 40ml) at several of his feedings throughout the day.
On Saturday he was able to be off his oxygen (on room air) for about six hours. So he is making some progress in his ability to stay oxygenated on his own.
In the last three days Cameron has been eating an entire feeding by bottle several times a day (his goal is 58ml every three hours). The other feedings he is still being fed through the feeding tube, known as gavage. He is gaining weight and getting stronger. He weights 6lbs and 9 ounces.
The ultimate goal for him to leave the hospital is that he can eat on his own every feeding and gain weight while doing this for two days in a row.
That's all for now.
