3 weeks old today

From Heather: Cole is doing well. They have upped his feedings to 3.2cc's every hour for 3 hours with one hour off in between. They are hoping to remove one of his IV's, the one that provided his nutrients in a couple of days, probably early next week. Once they remove that he will be getting all his calories from my milk. He is really starting to chunk up. I did ask the doctor today when we would be able to hold him and he said that won't happen until he stops getting so mad when the nurses touch him, change his diaper, give him medicine, or flip him over. He just get so mad that his sats go down. I was there when the nurse gave him a shot this morning, and it was cute, but sad, because you could see he was letting out a cry, but since they have a tube down his mouth there was no sound.
