Much the same today. Rhys' vent settings are unchanged and his O2 was in the low 60s all day. We're noticing his O2 is usually higher when he is not on his tummy, but 60% still isn't that bad for him. His weight is currently 1260 grams (2lb 12oz) and he is about 37 cm long (14.6 inches). He got more kangaroo today as well (two and a half hours worth!). He is getting better about not desatting significantly every time he is messed with or moved, but that isn't to say he doesn't make the nurses do a bit of a dance. He was able to be moved from kangaroo today without having his O2 knocked up for the transition.
Rhys' morphine has been decreased from every 6 hours to every 8 hours, so they are still making progress with the weaning. He also had a little time with his pacifier. The nurse said he really seemed to like it, but when he started desatting she had to take it away.
