He is much stronger and very alert and alot more active than he was even 2 weeks ago. He is growing more each and every day and gaining weight slowly each week. He is now 8 lbs! As they say, "slow and steady wins the race!"
Anyway, it turns out he is completely fine off the oxygen but because we are well into RSV season, they would like to keep him on it at night for the next month. More for precautionary measures in case he becomes sick at anytime. Because he is still so small and it's only been a month or so, he hasn't really built up quite enough reserve to withstand an illness like RSV, even with his immunizations. So, unfortunately the oxygen is going to continue to be a thorn in my side at least until February. But it is all for good reason and of course I want whats best for my little Prince :)
A bittersweet victory!
