Calm on the Colton front. He's eating, sleeping, pooping and still peeing. We had a speed bump in the feeding area where he stopped tolerating the extra calories they were adding to his breast milk. So after stopping feeds for 12 hours, they let him go back to breast milk (straight up) without the calorie fortifier. This means he'll gain weight more slowly since he is getting only half the calories they want him to. Other than that, the big focus is weaning off the vent. They have made some baby steps in that direction. His chest x-rays are looking a bit better and we have finished the course of Decadron. My guess is he'll need a second course but we shall see.
In the meantime, more pics for your viewing pleasure:
