John had some issues with decelerations and low O2 levels during Kangaroo care last night. He was able to resolve them on his own which was a good sign. However, Mommy stressed out just watching it happen.
On the bright side, he is showing signs of rooting. And he is starting to suck on his pacifier while also remembering to breathe!
Oh, and he is now on room air temperature! He is maintaining his temperature up on his own!!!
We are so proud of our little boy!
ns. No drops in O2 levels. He is not supposed to be doing this for another 2-4 weeks!!! Way to go John!
As to Mommy, she is doing well. So well, in fact, that the doctor did not recognize her from when she last saw her at the hospital. (Scary to think how bad Mommy must have looked.) Mommy's iron is at a level not expected for a few more weeks (anemia almost gone) and her incision is looking great.

Well, John continues to amaze. At the noon kangaroo care session John started rooting as soon as he was placed on Mommy's chest. So at the nurse's suggestion, we placed him at Mommy's breast... and he took to it!!! He only suckled a few times, but he would NOT let go until he fell asleep almost 45 minutes later. And, little super start that he is, his stats were amazing. No deceleratioAs to Mommy, she is doing well.
